Popis:	This comment to the famous Dodwell Vase, an archaic Corinthian pyxis representing two figures bearing heroic names (Agamemnon and Thersander), proposes that the composition establishes a link between two archaic epic cycles: Troy and Thebes. In this essay, we will present a concise story of the discovery of the vessel, introduce the main questions surrounding the piece, and offer a reading of the scenes and inscriptions on the vase. This proposal analyses the figures in light of their mythographic and literary traditions, and hypothesises on the painter’s intention to depict the two heroes, together with other figures and two interconnected scenes, taking into consideration the development of archaic epic cycles.
