Sophilos was one of the greatest early Athenian black-figure potters who flourished between 590 and 580 BC. His most famous pot was a dinos (a large pot used to mix wine and water at dinner parties, or symposia) upon which was depicted the wedding of Peleus and the nymph Thetis (who later became the parents of the famous Greek hero Achilles). This dinos was very typical of the time, as it included many friezes. Instead of one main depiction or frieze as seen in later Greek black-figure pots such as those of Exekias, the pot friezes of Sophilos depict Corinthian-style scenes of animals and floral patterns.
