Lydos was an ancient Athenian vase painter who flourished in the mid 6th century BCE. More than 130 vases of various shapes and sizes are attributed to him, though only two are signed. One is a lebes from the Acropolis (National Archaeological Museum of Athens, item no. 607), the other a Type B amphora (Paris, Louvre, F 29). On both vases the artist’s name has a definite article: ‘ho lydos’ was clearly his nickname, indicating some direct or indirect connection with Lydia. He also decorated vases for other potters, including Nikosthenes, Kolchos and Epitimos.
