  • AVI Web: https://www.avi.unibas.ch/DB/searchform.html?ID=7612
  • AVI Record Number: 7353
  • CAVI Collection: St. Petersburg 644.
  • CAVI Lemma: RF psykter. From Cerveteri. Euphronios. Last quarter sixth. 510-500. 515-510 (`Euphronios').
  • CAVI Subject: Symposium: four nude hetaerae reclining.
  • CAVI Inscriptions: Left to right: one hetaera playing kottabos: τὶν τάνδε λατάσσο, | Λέαγρε, retr. By her face: Σμικρα. To left of the frontal face of the second hetaera: Παλαιστο̅́,(1) retr. In the field, a two-liner, non-stoich.: Ευ(φ)ρονιος | εγραφσεν. By the face of the third hetaera (who plays the flutes): Σεκλινε, retr. By the face of the fourth hetaera who sits apart holding out a skyphos: Αγαπε, retr.{2}.
  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} the facs. shows the pi not reversed. {2} `Euphr.' has Αγαπα, retr., perhaps in error. The photo on p. 167 shows a worn area and a break after the pi, so that it is impossible to tell which is right.
  • CAVI Comments: = inv. 1650. = St. 1670. Furtwängler in FR notes that three of the hetaerae each hold two drinking vessels [the fourth plays the flutes]; and that the use of kottabos is here for a `Liebesorakel.' The vase is thus in praise of Leagros. For Σεκλινε see AttScr, and for Αγαπε, Beazley in ARV[2]. The use of retr. seems more or less determined by the position of the hetaerae. Robertson in Robertson (1992), mentions the suggestion that a symposium of hetaerae is a vase painter's joke. On p. 28 he comments on the Doric dialect of the kottabos inscription: is it symposium formula or was a real Smikra a Dorian? I think the former is more likely. - For Agape see also Drougou n. 261; for the kottabos see nn. 262-63. Agape is listed in LGPN ii. BCH 1956, 307: Αγαπα is the name of a dead woman from Pharsalus, beginning 5th.
