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.
