    Comprehensive changes in the subject repertoire of the Athenian Figure Pottery manifested itself by the second quarter of the 6th century BC, by which anthropocentric subjects substituted the animal frieses. Gigantomachy, Iliupersis, Centauromachy and Amazonomachy were the most frequently depicted mythological war scenes from the second quarter of the 6th century until the middle of the 5th century BC. On the other hand Grypomachy and Geranomachy along with Amazonomachy were the most favoured subjects on the Athenian Red Figure Pottery in the 4th century BC. Some researchers including S. Colvin, F. Vian, D. Bothmer and B. Schiffler classified the mythological war scenes on the Athenian Figure Pottery typologically and investigated the iconographic changes in the course of time. Also some others like B. Tarbell, T. Hölscher, M. Langner, M. Mangold attempted to explain their meaning and submitted different proposals for their interpretation. Considering the different approaches in research, this paper aims to provide an overview to the compositional and figural iconography of the mythological war scenes on the Athenian Figure Pottery. In the last part some remarks and problems related to the subject are discussed.
