CAVI Collection: Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum 3614.
CAVI Lemma: BF hydria. From Cerveteri. Near Tyrrhenian Group III. Third quarter sixth.
550-530.
CAVI Subject: Shoulder: Perseus pursued by a Gorgon, between sphinxes. Body: Achilles and
Troilos, with Polyxena and an extra male figure holding back the horse on which
Troilos(?) sits; at right, a hoplite.
CAVI Inscriptions: Shoulder: all retr.: Θ(ε)τες. Ποϙο(μ)ες. Οετος. Θ̣οτες. Χεμεσο. Πε(ρ)[ρ]ευς.
Σεποσ(ν)(ε)ς. ](ε)πες. Τεμεο̣θν{1}. Body: Τροιλος, retr. Φοκος, retr. Under the
horse's belly: nonsense: λοσιοστ. Above the horse, behind the rider's back:
three letters.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} done after Masner's facsimiles. ](ε)πες he thinks to be intended for
Ερμης; Οετος is under the right hand of the Gorgo and is intended for κητος
[sic]; see Masner for further speculations.
CAVI Comments: Ex Oest. Mus. 221. "The shoulder picture is nearer the Tyrrhenian Group than
the chief one," ABV. Cf. Vienna 3613 for the inscriptions. Johnston mentions the
reading Πορομος as a parallel to a Corinthian inscription which he reads:
Πορο̣[--]. It is the name of a bystander in the scene of Perseus and the
Gorgons. One wonders whether on this and Vienna 3613 the inscriptions on the
shoulder and the body are by the same hand; they certainly do not follow the
same model.
