CAVI Lemma: FRS. OF RF SKYPHOS. FROM GELA. UNATTRIBUTED. SECOND QUARTER FIFTH. 475-425
(BEA. ARCH.).
CAVI Subject: A: DEATH OF HIPPARCHOS: PARTS OF HARMODIUS, HIPPARCHOS (RAISED ARM HOLDING [A
SWORD] ABOVE THE HEAD; AT LEFT, A BEARDED MAN). B: WARRIORS; WOMAN.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} ORSI GIVES THE INSCRIPTIONS IN THE IONIC ALPHABET, BUT I AM NOT SURE THAT
THIS IS RIGHT.
CAVI Comments: DUPLICATE ENTRY: 3765 (GELA), Q.V. ORSI THINKS ANOTHER RF SKYPHOS FR., ALSO
FROM GELA, NSC 1900, 276/(D), Q.V., MAY BELONG, BUT THE SUBJECT IS EVIDENTLY
DIFFERENT AND (ACCORDING TO WEBSTER) BEAZLEY DOES NOT CONNECT THE TWO FRS.; IT
COULD OF COURSE BE FROM THE OTHER SIDE. WEBSTER THINKS THE FOUR REPRESENTATIONS
OF THE MURDER OF HIPPARCHUS, BEING ALL OF 475-460, ARE REFLECTIONS OF THE
POST-PERSIAN GROUP OF THE TYRANNICIDES BY CRITIAS AND NESIOTES. - ORSI GAVE THE
LOCATION AS PALERMO?, BUT BEAZLEY, IF RIGHTLY QUOTED BY WEBSTER, GAVE GELA. THE
VASE IS NOW IN THE VILLA GIULIA.
