Abstract. – The Beldam Painter was at the center of a workshop that produced numerous unattributed vases for decades after the painter himself ceased any identifiable activity. The nature of his work must therefore be clarified. He may have been a potter-painter who eventually turned full-time to throwing vases for later anonymous painters. Alternatively, he may have been a specialist painter within the workshop. His activity is dated to the second quarter of the 5th century BC, between 470 and 450 BC.
Key words. – Medea, Beldam, Pelias, lekythos, Athens.
