CAVI Lemma: RF pelike. From Capua. Lykaon Painter. Third quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: A: Eos and Cephalus. B: a youth fleeing to a man.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: above her head, horizontal: hεος [[h(ε)]]. A companion, above his head,
horizontal: Τιθον(ο)ς.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} with a wide open omicron.
CAVI Comments: = inv. 1595. = St. 1683. Cephalus is not inscribed. Matheson 211 thinks
mislabeled: Eos pursues an unnamed hunter to the left, with a fleeing hunting
companion at right: the pursued hunter is usually the Attic Cephalus, but he
should not be together with the Trojan Tithonos, who is usually shown with a
lyre.
