Greeks beggining to revive art. First thing they do is to make a funerary marker.

Large mixing bowl used to mix water and wine used to mark men's graves, about 4 ft high. Social symbolism of bringing together a community.  Trying to reach beyond the changing part of life, they made all of the people in the painting look the same.  Decorated with geometric design. Bands circle the pot to mesh time together.

Frightening monster to protect the the temple, but also a reference to the Medusa story. Pageasus the horse is also on the pediment along with the golden man.
