- CAVI Lemma: Lekythos in Six' technique. From Greece. Unattributed. Beldam workshop
(Haspels). False (?). Second quarter fifth.
- CAVI Subject: Oedipus and a wingless sphinx.
- CAVI Inscriptions: To right of his head: Οιδιπους.
- CAVI Comments: Very small and casual letters. I thought both the scene and specially the
inscription false. Omicron upsilon for o is suspicious. Goldman considered the
scene and inscriptions genuine; the museum card says that Tarbell and Beazley
doubted the vase. Goldman notes that wingless sphinxes do not occur on vases,
but are found on other monuments.
