(OEDIPUS); PART OF A MALE FIGURE (SIKON) WITH RAISED CLUB; CHARIOT HORSES; UPPER
PART OF A FEMALE WITH RAISED RIGHT ARM (KALLIOPA).
CAVI Inscriptions: A: NEAR OEDIPUS' CLUB: [Ο]ιδιποδες{1}. BY THE LEFT-HAND MALE: Σικον. THE
WOMAN: Καλλιοπα.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} SO M., P. 262; [Ο]ιδιποδης P. 350 (CAT.).
CAVI Comments: ALPHABET IONIC. - THE PHOT. IN CVA SHOWS THE FIRST INSCRIPTION. SIKON'S CLUB
IS HIS GOAD WITH WHICH HE HIT OEDIPUS. BEAZLEY (ARV[2] 1678) CONSIDERED KALLIOPA
A MUSE REPRESENTING ALL MUSES; C. ROBERT (1915), II, 315 A SINGLE MUSE IN
COMPANY OF OTHERS. PERHAPS A FIGURE IN LAIUS' RETINUE (CVA). BUT ACCORDING TO
ROBERTSON, KALLIOPE MARKS THE LOCALE AS PARNASSUS WHERE THE MUSES WALK. WEBSTER
(1972) CONNECTS THE SCENE WITH THE LAIUS OF AESCHYLUS; BUT THE VASE IS ABOUT
20-25 YEARS LATER THAN THE PLAY (467 B.C.). M. SUGGESTS SOPHOCLES' OT.
