The J. Paul Getty Museum
Los Angeles, United States
The fragments belong to a red-figure kylix decorated with scenes of the Trojan War. The tondo depicts the discovery of Dolon, the Trojan who was sent to spy on the Greeks but was caught by Odysseus and Diomedes (Iliad, X, 314ff). The exterior scenes are of the quarrel between Odysseus and Ajax for the arms of Achilles and of the vote by the Greeks to award the armor to Odysseus.
