Eos and lyre descriptions in red figured ceramics

Immortality for human beings has been seen as a reward that has been pursued from existence and made various efforts to obtain it. Sooner or later, we say goodbye to our bodies that have defeated to time. The human being feed his soul with music and poetry, our have created works of art and has succeeded in making them immortal, if not himself. Greek mythology consists of stories in which gods gain human characteristics and people gain divine characteristics. Eos and Tithonos appear before us when immortality, which is one of the most fundamental distinctions between man and God, is blended with love, music, and poetry. Our study has tried to explain the relationship of Eos and lyre on ceramics processed with the red-figure technique, which provides a great deal of freedom to the painters. Our thesis aims to fill the gap created by the fact that they are only depicted together in the literature, but the meaning of the lyre in the scene is not explained.
