Hoppin, Joseph Clark: A handbook of Attic red-figured vases, signed by or attributed to the various masters of the sixth and fifth centuries B.C. (Band 1) (Cambridge: Harvard Univ. Press, 1919)

The classification of subjects which follows the list of
attributed vases is based on the following principles.
Mythological: All gods or their attendants and all
legends in which they figure which are not classified
elsewhere.
Heroic: All scenes representing heroes like Herakles,
Theseus, etc.
Epic: All scenes taken from the Epic Cycle.
Bacchic: All scenes relating to Dionysos and his
following.
Military: Arming scenes or combats not otherwise
classified.
Komastic: Scenes of revelry.
Symposia: Banqueting scenes.
Athletic: Athletic sports of any kind.
Sacrifice: Scenes of ritual or sacrificial ceremonies.
Genre: All scenes from daily life not otherwise classi-
fied.
All vases bearing the potter’s or painter’s signature are
indicated by an asterisk after the number. As far as pos-
sible in the bibliography of each vase all references which
give an illustration have been placed first and in their
chronological order.
