The Piraeus Painter was one of the first Attica Attic black figure vase painting black figure vase painters. He was active between 630 and 600 BC. The Piraeus Painter was a contemporary of the Nessos Painter , whose importance and artistic class he did not reach. His name vase , a neck amphora in Athens , National Archaeological Museum of Athens National Archaeological Museum 353, was found at Piraeus . The most noteworthy feature of that vase is the snout of the depicted lion, stylised into the shape of a volute . Images of lions were quite popular at the time, as in the works of the Lion Painter and the Gorgon Painter . Except his animal figures, which display a safe intuition for design and proportions, his other figures appear very stiff and awkward. Bibliography John Beazley Attic Black figure Vase painters .

Early development of railway transport in Greece involved a number of different companies, which had created their own workshops for maintenance and constructions. The most important were Railway Works in Piraeus , originally operated by Athens Piraeus Railways SAP, which later transformed into Hellenic Electric Railways, EIS , and Piraeus, Athens and Peloponnese Railways SPAP, forerunner of Hellenic Railways Organisation OSE , which, in addition to maintenance, repair and rebuilding, have entirely constructed a significant number of railroad cars, mostly between 1880 and 1960. Other noteworthy constructions included a small number of electric tram s clearly copies of a Dick Kerr Type Tram Dick Kerr model built by EIS in 1939, and one of Greece s first Diesel locomotives, designed and built by SPAP in 1961. The crown jewel of the Piraeus Works was the royal wagon, built in 1888 as a present to King George I of Greece . The luxurious vehicle was so admired, that an entire engineering project was organized in order to transport and present it in the 1888 Olympia Fair held in Zappeion . It survives to date, exhibited in the Railway Museum of Athens . References I. Zartaloudis, D. Karatolos, D. Koutelidis, G. Nathenas, S. Fasoulas, A.
