On the Pig Painter’s krater (460-450), the violence of the satyr’s pursuit is underscored by the overturned amphora beneath his feet, and the seriousness of the maenad’s defense is suggested by the snake she extends toward the pursuing satyr.
During the 5 th century, many satyrs with erect phalloi pursue maenads, but, on many other vases like these, the satyrs become “gentlemen” where the scenes are not pursuits and the phalloi are not erect. Both of these are probably scenes of ritual where the satyr replaces an Athenian male citizen.
