καλος.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} CVA thinks Aphrodite here a mistake for Amphitrite, but Beazley
apparently takes it straight. Shapiro refers to U. Heimberg, Das Bild des
Poseidon in der griechischen Vasenmalerei (1968) 33, who assumes an error; but
S. is not sure.
CAVI Comments: Pythokles appears as kalos also on Athens 1689, a small RF Panathenaic
amphora by the Pythokles Painter, ARV[2] 36/1, which is early. [I think it
should be the same person.]
