CAVI Footnotes: {1} VACANO (1973) ATTRIBUTES A NUMBER OF BF EYE CUPS POTTED BY THE EARLY NIKOSTHENES TO A PAINTER OF VILLA GIULIA 63613; SOME OF THE ATTRIBUTIONS ARE QUESTIONED BY CLARK; SEE CVA, P. 63. {2} ABV DOES NOT IDENTIFY THE FIGURES; PARA. SUGGESTS HEBE AND HERA, PERHAPS ZEUS, ALTHOUGH THE BEARD IS POOR FOR ZEUS. BOTHMER IN GV BAREISS SUGGESTS HADES WITH PERSEPHONE AND DEMETER. {3} M&M-AUCTION (1961), PL. 41/133, BRACKETS THE FIRST EPSILON.
CAVI Comments: EX S.80.AE.300. EX BAREISS 82. EX ROMAN MARKET, MEGGEN, KäPPELI, AND BAREISS. BEAZLEY (ABV 235) COMPARES VATICAN 456, A SIMILAR CUP WITH HEADS ON A. THE HAND IS CERTAINLY DIFFERENT FROM PAINTER N'S. MATHESON IDENTIFIES THE HEADS ON B AS DEMETER, KORE AND TRIPTOLEMOS. SCHEFOLD: DEMETER, PERSEPHONE, HADES. BRUCKNER AND BEAZLEY FOLLOWING HIM: HERA, HEBE, ZEUS. BROMMER LEAVES THE QUESTION OPEN.
