(Pottery Greek)

‘Geometric style. Around 900 BC[E] another great step forward occurred, into the Geometric style proper. Some of the old motifs, concentric circles for example, were dropped, but others such as zig-zags and triangles were elaborated. New elements were introduced, including meanders, swastikas, and a variety of linear and essentially Geometric designs.’**

‘Around 800BC[E] the first figures were introduced: horses, then goats and deer,**** birds, dogs, lions, and finally human beings.# Drawings were in silhouette, and remained schematic. The artist drew what he knew to exist, rather than what he saw.’#*
