Talk:Lekythion

Shape of lekythion
The illustration of a lekythos is probably misleading. According to the Henderson (1972) article cited, it shows one kind of lekythos or oil jar, but it was probably not what was meant by lekythion, which was more likely the small round jar, carried by athletes, which modern scholars (but not ancient writers) call an aryballos. It would seem best, therefore, to delete the illustration, pretty though it is. Kanjuzi (talk) 18:05, 4 January 2024 (UTC).
