Note 98 — Chapter II · THE INFLUENCE OF GREEK TRAGEDY ON VASE PAINTING.
Reading edition
Jahn, Telephos und Troilos, 1841, p. 46 ff., believed that Exekias was indebted to Euripides’ Telephos for the idea of his dice-players; cf. Overbeck, Bildwerke, pl. 14. 4, and Wiener Vorlegeblätter, 1888, pl. 6. 1a. We know now that Exekias must have lived nearly 100 years before the date of the Telephos.
