CAVI Lemma: Frs. of RF cup. Apollodoros. First quarter fifth. Ca. 490-480 (CVA).
CAVI Subject: Int.: warrior coming to the rescue (stalking). A: warriors fighting (parts of
three). B: warriors coming up to join (as on the Int.; βοηθοι: two preserved).
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: on the rim of the shield, in BG: [καλ]ε, ναι{1}. To left of warrior's
helmet [Ευρυπτολ]εμ[ος...{2}. A: on the rim of a shield: [κ]αλ[--]{3}. B: To
left and right of the left warrior's head: [Απολλ]οδορος v. εγρ^α(φ)σεν. On his
shield: h[---]ι[--]{4}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} referring to the shield. {2} "no doubt," Beazley (1933); I am not sure
that there is room to the right of the head for a καλος; it may have been
somewhere else. Euryptolemos is a kalos-name confined to Apollodoros (ARV[2]
1580). {3} could be καλ[ε --] again. {4} Hartwig read the heta; the iota is on a
VG fr. Beazley (who did not look for the heta) thinks it may be the beginning of
h[ο or h[ε πα]ι[ς]; but there is not enough space, if his reconstruction is
right: perhaps (κ)[αλε, να]ι, as on the Int.
CAVI Comments: Ex Castle Ashby. + Villa Giulia (Apollodoros). - Beazley connected the Castle
Ashby fr. with frs. in Villa Giulia; it is part of B, reinforcements coming up
to the fight on A. Beazley says a fallen warrior on A is male, but for the rest
one cannot tell whether the warriors are Greeks or Amazons. - Furtwängler
wrongly connected this Castle Ashby fr. with ARV[2] 371/16, now listed as Geneva
Market, which he attributed to the Brygos Painter, thus assuming [--]οδορος was
the name of the Brygos Painter; Hartwig, disproving this, restored Apollodoros
after Louvre [G 139-140, ARV[2] 120/1]. - Tailed rho. Three-snd four-stroke
sigma. Phi = cartwheel theta.
