The Odysseus in the Underworld krater is a Lucanian calyx krater decorated in the red-figure style dating to ca. 380 BC – ca. 360 BC.[4] It was found in Pisticci, south Italy and is believed to be the work of the Dolon painter, a famous Lucanian red-figure vase painter who worked in the Metaponto workshop and had a particular affinity for large krateres and mythological scenes.[5] The krater is now at the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris.[4]
