CAVI Lemma: RF skyphos. Unattributed{1}. Last quarter fifth. Ca. 400 or a bit later
(Eichler).
CAVI Subject: A: in the center, a woman holding a tendril rushes up a mountain toward a
woman seated at the upper right and stretching out her arms to her; at left, a
youth follows; above him, behind a hill, is Hermes with a caduceus; beneath the
seated woman, a small Eros rushes toward a woman holding out a wreath; between
them, a plant. B: below: a crouching woman between two women; above: a seated
woman and Eros.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: above the woman running up the mountain: Αντιοπη{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} by an insignificant draftsman, perhaps in the manner of the Chrysis
Painter (Eichler). {2} the ph. on CVA, pl. 42,1, shows some letters: alpha and
nu above and a bit to right of the running woman, horizontal; then two letters
are missing; then what looks like an omicron and a very clear nu; this last
letter makes no sense: it should be a pi. From its position, the inscription
could also refer to the seated woman.
CAVI Comments: Eichler does not explain the scene except for calling the seated woman on A
Aphrodite.
