what is or who is "Boston Polyphemos" in the following paragraph? I searched on the web and found nothing about this name. Do you know anything about it? It always appears as "the painter of the Boston Polyphemos" on the web.

Here's a picture of the kylix, or drinking cup: http://www.mfa.org/collections/object/drinking-cup-kylix-depicting-scenes-from-the-odyssey-153469
Polyphemos is a Cyclops, a one-eyed giant from Greek mythology. The kylix depicting him is in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, which is why it 's referred to as the Boston Polyphemos. The artist is unknown and is referred to as "the painter of the boston Polyphemos. It think it should be Attica, not Attic and it refers to where the kylix was made.
