CAVI Lemma: RF bell krater. Achilles Painter. Second quarter fifth. Ca. 460-450. Early
(Beazley). 460-455 (Oakley).
CAVI Subject: A: A bearded man and an old warrior. B: Nike greeting a wreathed youth with
spears and petasos.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: to left of the warrior's middle, a Gr. made in the soft clay under the
glaze: Τελεω, retr. B: to right of Nike's forehead, stoich. and horizontal:
καλως̣ | Εγελεως{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} for the name see Threatte (1996).
CAVI Comments: Omega is here used for omicron, ou and omega (but the Gr. inscription may not
be by the same hand). Τελεω has been variously interpreted. Richter (in
Richter–Hall) suggests the genetive of Τελεας (cf. PA 13,500), or for τελεος,
sc. ο κρατηρ, or τελεον, sc. το αγγειον; the last two suggestions are unlikely.
Beazley in ARV[2] 1677 suggests that `the wild-looking warrior' may be Tereus,
and the inscription may be for Τηρεω, genitive of Τηρης, which he considers a
variant of Τηρευς. The inscription is part of the preliminary sketch, but was
not copied on the glaze; it is retr. probably because it refers to the old
warrior on the right. Note that Τελεας is equally possible (cf. PA 13,557). This
name (like Richter's suggestion) is not mythological, and the inscription would
have to be an incomplete notation for a kalos-name. Beazley's suggestion seems
to me philologically implausible. Robertson also disagrees; he thinks the old
man may be Philoctetes on Lemnos meeting Neoptolemos or Odysseus to take him
back to Troy. The kalos-name has also been variously read and interpreted, but
it is clearly Hegeleos. Rumpf suggested that the Gr. should be read as
Ε]ΓΕΛΕΩ[Σ, but the first preserved letter is a clear tau. The alphabet is mainly
Ionic. [I would perhaps suggest that the inscription in the preliminary sketch
is intended as a reminder that the kalos-name ΕΓΕΛΕΩΣ is to be inscribed. But
perhaps the retr. direction is against this?] For reff. to Tereus see Oakley 47
