Epiktetos was an Attic vase painter in the early red-figure style. Besides Oltos, he is the most important painter of the Pioneer Group. He was active between 520 and 490 BC. His name translates as "newly acquired" which is most probably a reference to his slave status.[1]

At the beginning of his career, Epiktetos painted a chalice krater made by the potter Andokides, but later he turned to smaller vessels, such as cups and plates. He worked for a variety of potters, including Andokides, Hischylos and the Nikosthenes-Pamphaios workshop. Since he signed one plate as painter and potter, he must have worked in both functions at least for some time. That plate was avotive offering, dedicated on the Athenian Acropolis. On one kylix, he collaborated with the Euergides Painter. He appears to have been aware of his talent, as he signed more than half of the works ascribed to him.

His first vases are bilingual eye-cups. Already at this stage, he is technically superior to the early works of Oltos, and omits out-of-date features such as palmette-hearts. He also uses the relief-line technique. Epiktetos is considered a master of the tondo (circular image inside a cup). Often, his vases are only painted on the inside. His miniature drawings are very accurate. His use of colour and ornament is careful and restricted. His lines and details are very balanced, heads and limbs well-proportioned. His use of perspective on figures is very convincing. John Beazley praises Epiktetos: âit is not possible to draw better, only to draw differently â. John Boardman also lauds him as the âgreatest drughtsman in early red-figure vase painting â.[2]

His motifs are interesting, not least from a point of view of modern scholarship. While he rarely depicts mythological scenes, which are usually not very original, his everyday scenes are all the more important. He shows Athenian citizens at play, at the symposion and in erotic scenes, where he developes new aspects and motifs. He played an important role in the development of the satyr as a figure expression beastlike masculinity. His tondi cease to depict the kneeling runner characteristic of black-figure vase painting; instead his figures squat, kneel or are seated. In some cases, the posture of figures depicted on his vases is nearly identical, while tha action varies greatly. For example, a bent and twisted figure is in once case the Minotaur, in another a man masturbating into a pot, in a third a girl pleasuring herself with a dildo.

Komast with a skyphos, a staff and pipes case, tondo from a red-figure plate by Epiktetos, ca. 520s BCEâ500s BCE, from Vulci, Cabinet des MÃ©dailles (n.510).
The end of his career remains unclear. One of his latest works is on a cup by the potter Python â here he appears stylistically influenced by Python's main painter, Douris â another on a vase by Pistoxenos. Epiktetos's work must have received considerable appreciation at the time, as indicated by a pelike by the Kleophrades Painter which is twice falsely signed Epiktetos egraphsen (Epiktetos painted it). The signature is a falsification, suggesting that the vessel was considered more marketable if considered to be by Epiktetos.

what score would you expect from a proud choomer if he refused to release his academic records?

I would not be expecting something too praiseworthy would you?

Obama obviously has more innate intelligence than most. But it does not seem that he was developing it during his choom years.

Guess I just don't see the "innate intelligence". I see a narcisistic pothead who used the leftists inclination to advance underqualified minority people to lofty positions to his favor and is now systematically dismantling American institutions.

I see a loser.

Its weird that I am defending Obama, but compare the way he answers difficult questions with the way bush, mccain or palin, pelosi, biden or wasserman schultz do or did. Those clowns were not smart enough to go off script at all and they have trouble staying on script.

Obama is great on script... off script you can see he struggles to not say stuff which is too leftist... but he does have some smarts.

You're comparing him to 5 of the dumbest people ever born, McCain, Palin, Pelosi, Biden and Wasserman-Schultz. Of course he is going to look like a genius next to those idiots LOL.

I don't think Biden is even house-trained.

I was debating whether to respond to jems post. Given I generally agree with him. But I've seen enough video of Obama choking without his teleprompter to know he does not have many if any brain cells left after smoking pot like a chimney in his earlier years.
