CAVI Subject: A: Heracles and the centaur Eurytion. B: women fleeing to an old man.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: the centaur: Δεξαμενος, retr.{1}. Δαιανειρα, retr. [sic]. Οινευς. B: the

CAVI Footnotes: {1} written in confusion for Eurytion (Beazley). {2} all inscriptions from
Matheson's cat.
CAVI Comments: = 3089. The same subject on London 1898.7-16.5, not inscribed. Matheson:
Beazley and others declared the inscriptions to be mistaken and the scene to be
of Heracles and Eurytion, with the daughter of king Dexamenos. Vollkommer
however accepts the inscriptions, citing parallels for the name Dexamenos and
for Oineus as the father of Deianeira. [But there is a good deal of confusion in
the sources about the names in the Eurytion story.]
