  • LIMC ID: 9752
  • LIMC Web: http://ark.dasch.swiss/ark:/72163/080e-742dbbfbe2bf3-0
  • CAVI Collection: New York 1972.11.10.
  • CAVI Lemma: RF calyx krater. Euphronios. Euxitheos, potter. Last quarter sixth. 510-500. 515-510 (`Euphronios').
  • CAVI Subject: A: Sleep and Death lifting the body of Sarpedon, with Hermes and two warriors. B: four youths arming; at right, a bearded warrior.
  • CAVI Inscriptions: A: in front of head and chest of the warrior at left: Λαοδαμας. To right of a spear, under Sleep's wing, not stoich.: Ευχσιθεος | εποιεσεν. On top of the scene, above Sleep: Λεαγρος καλος, retr.{2}. Starting at Sleep's face: hυπνος. To right of the back of Hermes' head: hερμες{3}. Above the right portion of the scene, somewhat more widely spaced: Ευφρονιος εγραφσεν. To left of Death's face: Θανατος, retr. Below Sarpedon's chest and left arm: Σαρπεδον{4}. To left of the right warrior's head and chest, hιππολυτος, retr. B: to right of the left youth, facing: hυπεροχος. Above the second youth: Λεαγρος vac. καλος. Below the face of the second youth (who bends over): hιππ[α]σος(?). To right of a third youth's legs: Μεγ̣ον. To left of the back of the fourth youth's head: Ακαστος, retr.{5}. To left of the warrior, starting from the hand holding a spear: Αχσιππος, retr.
  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} also readings kindly sent me by Bothmer. {2} a space before each of the final sigmas. {3} the mu painted partly over the kerykeion. {4} the delta partly over Death's foot. {5} written from the head.
  • CAVI Comments: Boardman discusses the names of the two onlookers on A: Laodamas is a Trojan (Il. 15.516-17) or a Lycian (Quint. Smyrn. 11.20-21). Hippolytos is not known as Trojan or Lycian but the name may be an error for Hippolochos, a Lycian and father of Glaukos, cousin to Sarpedon; he is found on Melbourne 1643/4 (see Boardman n. 5). Boardman also discusses side B. Bothmer had noted that Medon and Akastos were the first Athenian archons; the scene of early heroes arming he thought was directed against Hippias' disarming of the citizens after the murder of Hipparchos. Simon calls them `attische Bürgernamen' (in GV 98). Boardman argues against both interpretations; he suggests an arming scene of Lycians and Trojans. - Note that the painter's signature is much more prominent than the potter's.
