Title	Kylix with Boar Hunting Scene label QS:Len,"Kylix with Boar Hunting Scene"
Object type	kylix
Description	English: Aristocratic youths honed their athletic and military skills through the hunt. On this "kylix" (a shallow cup for drinking wine), a youth's triumphant success in bringing down a boar imitates the well-known imagery of the hero Meleager, who, among his exploits, hunted the Calydonian boar. The youth wears typical hunting attire: a broad-brimmed hat, cloak, and a short sword in a scabbard slung about his waist. He holds two spears, one of which is tipped with blood, and stretches his cloak to the side as he gazes down at his dying prey. Above the figure is an inscription that reads, "Aristarchos Kalos," meaning "Aristarchos is handsome." Such vase inscriptions were popular in the male-centered world of Classical Athens.
