His legend, of Oriental origin, spread early and rapidly to Greece and Italy. In Athens, his cult is attested as early as the 5th century, though representations of him in the arts remain surprisingly rare. Not so in South Italy, where from the early 4th century on his myth inspired some of the greatest vase-painters, especially in Apulia. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the present systematic and richly illustrated analysis of his representations in South Italian Vase-painting, shows, Adonis played in Magna Graecia a much more important role than had hitherto been suspected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInternationally recognized as the expert on South Italian Vase-painting, Alexander Cambitoglou has co-authored with Arthur Dale Trendall the fundamental work on its main school: \u003ci\u003eThe Red-figured Vases of Apulia\u003c\/i\u003e, I: \u003ci\u003eEarly and Middle Apulian \u003c\/i\u003e(1978) and II: \u003ci\u003eLate Apulian\u003c\/i\u003e (1982), and \u003ci\u003eFirst and Second Supplement to The Red-figured Vases of Apulia\u003c\/i\u003e (1983 and 1991). With Chr. Aellen and J. Chamay he has published\u003ci\u003e Le peintre de Darius et son milieu\u003c\/i\u003e in 1986 and again with J. Chamay in 1997, \u003ci\u003eCéramique de Grande Grèce\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eLa collection de fragments H. A. Cahn\u003c\/i\u003e, and in 2006\u003ci\u003e Le don de la vigne: vase antique du baron Edmond de Rothschild \u003c\/i\u003e(Matteo Campagnolo co-author). More recently, the two first Australian \u003ci\u003eCVA\u003c\/i\u003e fascicules have appeared in which he presents, with M. Turner as co-author, the collection of red-figured pottery from Apulia held by The University of Sydney’s Nicholson Museum (fasc. 1: 2008, 2: 2014). His work on Adonis’ plants has just come out in J. Chamay’s translation: \u003ci\u003eLes plantes d’Adonis. Essai (Etudes genevoises sur l’Antiquité. Cahiers \u003c\/i\u003evol. 2, 2018\u003ci\u003e)\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54259721240920,"sku":"9783034335409","price":50.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783034335409.jpg?v=1766493911","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/adonis-his-representations-in-south-italian-vase-painting","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
