Picture of an archer - identification
#2
Off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure that's Apulian red-figure krater in the Louvre showing a mythological scene, maybe Theseus (above the archer)? I can't seem to pull it up in the Beazley archive at the moment... I think I have a picture of the entire vase at home with info, so let me get back to you (or somebody who knows their Italiote wares better than I can correct me in the mean time).

I'd warn against identifying a figure as 'Greek' based on the pilos-type helmet.
