Decoration: A: TYRANNICIDES, HARMODIOS AND HIPPARCHOS (BOTH NAMED)
Last Recorded Collection: Gela, Museo Archeologico
Publication Record: Journal of Hellenic Studies: 68 (1948) 27, FIG.1
CAVI Collection: Gela. Duplicate of 7173 (Villa Giulia 50,321), q.v.
CAVI Lemma: Fr. of RF skyphos. From Gela. Unattributed. Second quarter
fifth. *P. Orsi, NSc 1900, 276/(c). Beazley, JHS 68 (1948) 27,
fig. 1. T.B.L. Webster, Potter and Patron in Classical Athens
(1972) 77.
CAVI Subject: A: Death of Hipparchos (story of tyrannicides): a raised
arm holding [a sword] above the head; at left, a bearded
man.
CAVI Inscriptions: Above the bearded man: [b] Ιππ(α)(ρ)χος[/b]. Above the other figure:
[b] [Αρμ]οδιος[/b].(1)
CAVI Footnotes: (1)Orsi gives the inscriptions in the Ionic alphabet, but
I am not sure that this is right.
CAVI Comments: 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. - Now in Palermo?
