CAVI Lemma: RF calyx krater. From Spina. Achilles Painter. Third quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: A-B: (continuous:) Theseus and the Amazons: A: Perithoos to right, stabbing
Andromache; Pyrgomache, collapsed; Theseus to right, fighting Antiope (who is
over the right handle). B: tree to right of Antiope; Greek to right, fighting
Amazon on horseback; Greek to right attacks Eumache (who is on A, on the other
side of the handle).
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Bothmer; missed by Aurigemma and Arias. {2} Θησευς, Bothmer, but see
AttScr (1990), 109 n. 4. {3} καλ[ο]ς, Bothmer. My readings mostly after
Aurigemma. But Oakley also reads Θησευς.
CAVI Comments: = VT T 1052. The surface is in poor condition; the phs. do not show the
inscriptions. Ionic alphabet (except perhaps Θεσευς). Mended in antiquity. The
scene probably inspired by a wall painting (see Oakley 50 n. 169) [note that the
scene ignores the handle divisions between A and B]. Oakley prints Ionic letters
except for three-stoke sigma in καλ[ο]ς, which he mentions on p. 11. According
to Oakley 10 the inscriptions are incised; so does Denoyelle; I had not noticed
it.
