Attic Black-Figure Kylix, about 525-500 BC. Wine Cup with a Fishmonger. Additional Info: This Athenian black-figure kylix or cup depicts a fish market. On one side, a fishmonger prepares a tuna for sale. He is about to carve up the fish on a chopping block. Pieces already cut from another fish lie on the table behind him and a fish head rests at his feet. On the other side, another man carries a tuna, perhaps freshly caught. Given Greece's extensive coastline, fish were important in the Greek diet, but depictions of fishing and the sale of fish are rare in Greek art.
