CAVI Lemma: BF pyxis. From Merenda (Attica). Exekias (ARV[2]; Moore); probably Exekias
(Para.). Third quarter sixth. 540-530.
CAVI Subject: Preparation of a chariot preceded by the owner, a draped youth.
CAVI Inscriptions: The youth: Στεσαγορα[ς].
CAVI Comments: Identified in TAPhA with Stesagoras II, elder brother of Miltiades, the
victor at Marathon. Shapiro thinks the pyxis a commissioned work for a member of
the Philaid family. The horses are mares; cf. Hdt. 6.103 on Cimon's horses
(Moore).
