Sotades Painter

The Sotades Painter (fl. 470 BCE450 BCE) was a 5th-century BCE Athenian vase painter, "one of the most familiar names in vase painting".[1]

Sotades is the potter's signature on his vases; it may have also been the name of the painter himself.[2]

Sotades worked in both red figure and white ground technique.[2]

gollark: This sort of thing is very good at the particular task it's optimized for, but expensive (initial-cost-wise, it's easy to churn out more of them) and entirely unable to do anything else, unlike general-purpose CPUs/GPUs, which are also hilariously expensive in initial investment but can do basically anything and are reusable all over the place.

gollark: Well, "very good" varies.
