Myson was an ancient Greek red figure vase painter and potter active in Athens during the first half of the 5th Century BC. His speciality was column kraters. He has been identified as a precursor to the Mannerist group of Greek vase painters and his workshop, founded around 500 BC, employed the early mannerists. Myson may have learned his craft in the workshop of one of the Pioneer Group, perhaps Phintias. Before 500 BC, he may have worked on cups, with one naming Leagros. He is also considered a tutor of the Pan Painter, as well as the Seesaw Painter. A single egraphsen signature from a vase on the Acropolis was used to identify Myson, and Beazley subsequently assigned 30 vases to Myson's hand through style Hoppin observed that a break on the Acropolis fragment before the 'M' suggests that Myson may not be his complete name.
