CAVI Lemma: RF cup. From Tarquinia. Nikosthenes Painter. Pamphaios, potter. Last quarter
sixth. 500-490 (Ferrari).
CAVI Subject: Int.: a satyr capturing a running maenad. A: Heracles and Cycnus, between
chariots; a winged figure is perched on the horses of each chariot. B: athletes:
a runner; a jumper; a flautist; an acontist; a trainer; a discobolus; boxers.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: hο παις καλος{1}. A: [hερ]ακλες. From the elbow of the right-hand
winged figure to the ear of a chariot horse: Φοβο[ς]{2}. On the upper edge of
the reserved foot profile: Παν(φ)αιος εποιεσεν.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} CVA, text, with a vertical line inserted: κα|λος. {2} CVA, text, has
ΦΟΒΟ; I have added the sigma. Perhaps rather: Φοβο[ς].
CAVI Comments: There is a winged figure over each chariot; Ferrari considers them keres. On
p. 54 n. 12, she discusses previous interpretations: Greifenhagen, Griechische
Eroten 34-37, thinks they are Deimos and Phobos, but Ferrari says Phobos is the
name of the charioteer as on Berlin 1732, ABV 110/37 [but the reading is
uncertain there]; she intimates that there are other parallels. Shapiro also
disagrees with Greifenhagen; he gives Phobos to the (bearded) charioteer of
Cycnus; the (young) charioteer of Heracles must be Iolaus. The phi in the
signature has a diagonal hasta.
