CAVI Subject: A: Sleep and Death lifting the body of Sarpedon, with Hermes and two
warriors. B: four youths arming; at right, a bearded warrior.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: in front of head and chest of the warrior at left: Λαοδαμας. To right of a
spear, under Sleep's wing, not stoich.: Ευχσιθεος | εποιεσεν. On top of the
scene, above Sleep: Λεαγρος καλος, retr.{2}. Starting at Sleep's face: hυπνος.
To right of the back of Hermes' head: hερμες{3}. Above the right portion of the
scene, somewhat more widely spaced: Ευφρονιος εγραφσεν. To left of Death's face:
Θανατος, retr. Below Sarpedon's chest and left arm: Σαρπεδον{4}. To left of the
right warrior's head and chest, hιππολυτος, retr. B: to right of the left youth,
facing: hυπεροχος. Above the second youth: Λεαγρος vac. καλος. Below the face of
the second youth (who bends over): hιππ[α]σος(?). To right of a third youth's
legs: Μεγ̣ον. To left of the back of the fourth youth's head: Ακαστος, retr.{5}.
To left of the warrior, starting from the hand holding a spear: Αχσιππος, retr.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} also readings kindly sent me by Bothmer. {2} a space before each of the
final sigmas. {3} the mu painted partly over the kerykeion. {4} the delta partly
over Death's foot. {5} written from the head.
CAVI Comments: Boardman discusses the names of the two onlookers on A: Laodamas is a Trojan
(Il. 15.516-17) or a Lycian (Quint. Smyrn. 11.20-21). Hippolytos is not known as
Trojan or Lycian but the name may be an error for Hippolochos, a Lycian and
father of Glaukos, cousin to Sarpedon; he is found on Melbourne 1643/4 (see
Boardman n. 5). Boardman also discusses side B. Bothmer had noted that Medon and
Akastos were the first Athenian archons; the scene of early heroes arming he
thought was directed against Hippias' disarming of the citizens after the murder
of Hipparchos. Simon calls them `attische Bürgernamen' (in GV 98). Boardman
argues against both interpretations; he suggests an arming scene of Lycians and
Trojans. - Note that the painter's signature is much more prominent than the
potter's.
