CAVI Collection: Ferrara, Museo Nazionale di Spina 2893.
CAVI Lemma: RF calyx krater. From Spina, Valle Trebba, tomb 617. Peleus Painter. Third
quarter fifth. 440-430{1}.
CAVI Subject: A: Wedding of Peleus and Thetis: Th. in a chariot; to her right, P. mounting;
at left, Hekate with torches; at the far left, Hermes; behind the horses, Apollo
citharoedus; at the far right, Aphrodite crowns P. B: warrior leaving home (man,
youth, young warrior, Nike).
CAVI Footnotes: {1} `Entwickelte Reifeperiode' (K.). Parthenonian (M.). {2} CVA, text: Ηρμης.
Syllabic heta? {3} CVA, text omits the extra kappa, but it is there; miswritten.
{4} Aurigemma: [Π]ηλευ[ς], but the photo seems to show that there is not room
for the final sigma; so also CVA, text. {5} the rendering of the names in
Matheson is not accurate.
CAVI Comments: = T 617. Ionic alphbet. Good photos of ΕΚΑΚΤΗ and ΑΠΟΛΩN in Aurigemma. For
the appearance of Hekate see Robertson. - The omega seems to have a special
shape with a closed circle, for which see AttScr (1990), 166.
