CAVI Lemma: RF cup. From Cerveteri. Epidromos Painter. Last quarter sixth. 510-500
(Eichler).
CAVI Subject: Int.: at left, an altar; Hermes with his kerykeion leading a dog, disguised
as a pig, to sacrifice; at right, a sponge, strigil and aryballos hung up. Ext.:
plain.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: above the scene, along the margin: Επ[ι]δρομ[ος] κα[λος]. Under the
foot, Gr.: a reversed three-stroke sigma.
CAVI Comments: Eichler points out that the script supports the attribution to the Epidromos
Painter. There is a preliminary sketch on the Int., upside down to the final
picture and figuring a naked figure walking to right. Eichler accepts
Studniczka's interpretation that Hermes is leading a dog disguised as a pig to a
sacrifice. [The sacrifice is perhaps in a palaestra, whence Hermes.]
