1. Describing What part of the Trojan War did the artist of the Mykonos Vase choose to present? How did the artist represent it? How did this representation
affect the style of the image?

2. Inferring What was the Mykonos Vase used for? What does the appearance of
the Trojan Horse on such an object suggest about the familiarity of the ancient
Greeks with the story of the Trojan War?

3. Analyzing What part of the Trojan Horse story did the Sabouroff Painter choose
to present? Why might the artist have chosen it? How did this subject and surface
available to the Sabouroff Painter affect the style of the image?

4. Connecting The appearance of Trojan War stories on everyday objects such as

of these tales to the ancient Greeks. What traditional stories function in the same
way for modern Americans? What equivalent everyday decorative use of U. S.
cultural materials (such as patriotic symbols or images of popular heroes or
legends) is made in the contemporary United States? How is the American use of
such materials like and unlike the ancient Greek use of Trojan War stories to
decorate pots?
