Abstract
This article focuses on an amphora by the Andokides Painter which dates in the late sixth-century BC, representing naked girls who swim in a basin of water with fish in front of a building endowed with a column and an architrave. Several considerations lead to the conclusion that these girls are young Athenian females in the sanctuary of Artemis Brauronia, in front of the temple built by Peisistratos. Thus, we may have the first representation of this sanctuary in our visual evidence.
期刊介绍：
Acta Archaeologica, founded in 1930, is the leading scientific international archaeological periodical in Scandinavia. Acta Archaeologica is published annually and contains 200 to 250 large pages, beautifully illustrated. The papers are in English, German, French, or Italian, well-edited, and of lasting value. Acta Archaeologica covers the archaeology of Scandinavia, including the North Atlantic, until about 1500 AD. At the same time, Acta Archaeologica is underscoring the position of Northern Europe in its wider continental context. Mediterranean (and Near Eastern) archaeology plays a particular role. Contributions from arctic, maritime and other branches of archaeology, as well as from other continents, are included.
