Each of these illustrations is mentioned in Natalie Haynes book, Pandora’s Jar, about women in Greek myths. The page numbers refer to the book. The links are where I found the illustrations on the web. There are only two referenced in the chapter on Clytemnestra. The first one is a mixing bowl held by Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Unfortunately the link is broken so I have a screen shot of the image from the index page. I have included the link in case they fix it. I also found an image that looks like the pot. Only someone has cleverly unfurled it and given us a panorama shot. The second mixing bowl illustrates an alternative version of the death of Agamemnon.
