CAVI Lemma: RF neck amphora. From Vulci. Manner of Euphronios{1} (Beazley); Euphronios
(Peredol’skaya). Last quarter sixth. 510-500. Late (Peredol’skaya).
CAVI Subject: A: Heracles shooting ... B: the Hydra.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: under Heracles' armpit: hερακλεες. Under the foot, Etruscan Gr.: caiou,
retr.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} ARV[2] "Close to Euphronios." Para.: "Probably by Euphronios." `Euphr.'
appears to agree with Peredol’skaya.
CAVI Comments: = inv. 2351. According to `Euphronios', Beazley interpreted the scene as
Heracles in the Garden of the Hesperides [so in ARV[1] 17, where B is called the
Tree of the Hesperides, but in ARV[2] he names the creature on B the Hydra
without question mark]. Brommer interprets the scenes as the shooting of the
Lernaean hydra. High-kicking alpha. Triangular rho. The same Etruscan Gr. is
also found on Louvre G 107, a RF neck amphora, Manner of Euphronios, ARV[2]
18/1, Euphronios, no. 19, AttScr (1990), no. 401. The same Etruscan Gr.,
according to ARV[2] 1619, is found also on Brussels R 296, a RF neck amphora,
with A: Heracles and B: archer.
