Amphora II: The Crushing of Asterion

The Crushing of Asterion Amphora (c. 470 BCE)

Unearthed in 2025 from a collapsed chamber beneath a hillside sanctuary in Arcadia, this black-figure amphora depicts what appears to be an enormous armored vehicle crushing the city of Asterion, a settlement otherwise unknown to history.

The artist rendered the machine with extraordinary detail, including wheels, tracks, and a long projecting tube unlike any technology known from the ancient world. The scene appears to commemorate the destruction of a city, though no historical record corresponds to the event.

Fragments of accompanying text mention:

“The iron beast crossed the sacred walls.”

Several archaeologists have suggested the image may represent a symbolic monster from a lost regional myth. Others argue it could be an allegory for war itself.

The vessel remains one of the most controversial artifacts recovered in Greece in the past century.

Amphora I: The Skyfire Vessel
The Skyfire Vessel (c. 490 BCE)

Discovered in 2024 during excavations near the ancient settlement of Kastraki in central Greece, this remarkably preserved black-figure amphora has puzzled archaeologists and historians alike.

The vessel depicts a winged object hovering above a warrior while dropping a series of dark projectiles from the sky. The imagery bears no resemblance to any known mythological scene from the period. Initial interpretations suggested a representation of Zeus hurling thunderbolts, but the object’s mechanical appearance has led some researchers to describe it as one of the most enigmatic images ever recovered from Classical Greece.

A partially preserved inscription near the figure translates roughly as:

“Death comes from above, unseen.”

The amphora is currently the subject of intense scholarly debate, with no consensus regarding its symbolism.

Painted as clay, thick and sculptural in its impasto, this portrait of Paola and my friend Jenny takes shape through a heavy-handed, instinctive approach. Each stroke is driven by my Neanderthal brain, choosing movement in paint over strict technique and letting the hand wander clumsily and freely across the surface. The result is a raw, tactile homage, their presence rendered in color and texture, alive with the energy of the moment and the intimacy of friends deeply known.
