The paper aims to analyze the figurative program of an Etruscan black-figure amphora
in Dresden, decorated on one side with a scene of sacrifice in the presence of a satyr, and
on the other, with the representation of an armed dance.
The assumption is that the amphora is the product of a special commission to celebrate
a successful performance as a small triumph, using the mythical paradigm of the Gigantomachy
of Heracles as a model.
