Öz Recent research, to which Ekrem Akurgal has contributed more perhaps than he himself realises, offers new evidence on some of the obscurities of the Wild Goat style of East Greek pottery. At present there seem to be three main Systems of classifying it (1). The latest, that of Walter and Walter-Karydi, attempts to distinguish intuitively several local schools, which develop more or less concurrentiy. The other two are less ambitious, making a broadly similar division between the rather stilted reserving style familiar from finds in Rhodes and a generally coarser style, often using incision and rare among the Rhodian material. The first of these styles was called by Rumpf the Kamiros, the second the Euphorbos style (from which Schiering later detached a Vlastos style) while my names for them were respectively Middle and Late Wild Goat style.
