CAVI Collection: London D 5.
CAVI Lemma: WG cup. From Athens. Sotades Painter. Sotades, potter. Second quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: Int.: Polyidos in the tomb of Glaukos. Ext.: plain.
CAVI Inscriptions: Γλαυκος. Πολυιιδος{1}. [Σοτ]αδες{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} so Beazley in AJA, "so far as I can make out." Smith and others had read Πολυειδος. Sophocles has Πολυιδος with short iota, Homer with long. {2} so ARV[2]; Smith had restored: [Σοτ]αδες [εποιεσεν].
CAVI Comments: From the same tomb in Athens as London D 6 and D 7, all by the Sotades Painter. According to Burn (who is followed by Robertson), London D 5 and D 6 and the two Sotades phialai, found in the same tomb with five (originally six) other vases, are a set. Robertson thinks the Sotades signature here indicates the potter, not the workshop owner; and that Sotades worked in the workshop of Hegesiboulos. For the myth of Glaukos, see Apollodoros 3,2,3 and Roscher (1884–1937), i, 1686f., s.v. .... For the sanctuary see P.J. Callagan, `Excavations at a Shrine of Glaukos,' BSA 73 (1978) 1-30. Glaukos was a son of Minos who drowned in a honey pot but was brought back to life by the seer Polyeidos.
