Dionysos holding out a kantharos, black-figured plate by Psiax, ca. 520-500 BC, British Museum (B 589).

Psiax (flourished in Athens circa 525?510 BCE) was an ancient Greek vase painter. He played an important role in the transition from Attic black-figure to red-figure. Formerly called the Menon Painter, after the potter?s signature on a red-figure amphora (Philadelphia, U. PA, Mus., 5349), he signed two red-figure alabastra as painter, both of which bear the signature of the potter Hilinos [Karlsruhe, Bad. Landesmus., 242 (B 120) and Odessa, A. Mus.]. Psiax also knew white-ground pottery techniques, as well as coral red pottery techniques.^[1]
