Darrell A. Amyx

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Darrell Arlynn Amyx (2nd April 1911 to 10th January 1997) was an American classical archaeologist. After study at Stanford he obtained his doctorate from Berkeley in 1947. From 1946 he taught at the University of California, Berkeley until his retirement in 1978. His principal field of study was the archaic pottery of Corinth. Similar to and complimenting the pioneering work of John Beazley, Amyx applied stylistic analysis to the work of previously unnamed and unstudied Corinthian painters, descerning many otherwise forgotten "hands".
