Epiktetos
( fl c. 520–c. ?480 BC). Greek vase painter. Active in Athens, he was one of the major artists of the first generation of Attic Red-figure vase painters, and he signed his name on over 40 vases, often misspelling the accompanying verb. Over 112 vases by him survive: most are cups, but larger shapes include calyx kraters, a volute krater, skyphoi, kantharoi and an oinochoe. Some of his finest work is on plates.
