Fun fact! Did you know that Greek pottery was made in parts and then assembled? The decorations were often at the joineries to help visually connect the different pieces (and likely to hide the joints) and the potter was not always the painter! (source: "Understanding Greek Vases: A guide to terms, styles, and techniques" by Andrew Clark, Maya Elston, & Mary Hart)
For my current large project- I've decided to do Athenian Red-figure. Partly because the base of the piano is black(ish), partly because it's called 'ATHENIAN' and Odysseus is connected to Athena, and partly because it's a younger form of Greek pottery painting - with black-figure being a bit older (as seen in this super accurate timeline i made because i kept getting lost as i was reading)
- and if I decide to be doubly ambitious and do one for the illiad, I'll likely do that one in black-figure as it's an 'older' story, so it'll pair nicely.

How can you tell the right hand god on the front is Iris? She has all the attributes of Hermes - but white skin. Black (or darker, but this is Black-Figure) = Male, White (or lighter, but again, this is Black-Figure) = Female in the ancient art of Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Greece.
