  • CAVI Collection: Berlin inv. 3186.
  • CAVI Lemma: Fr. of RF oinochoe (chous). Unattributed{1}. Mid-fifth (CVA).
  • CAVI Subject: Caricature: Oedipus and the Sphinx (O. with a dog's rear end; sphinx with a dogs's face on an Ionic column).
  • CAVI Inscriptions: Above: Κασσμ[ι]α for Καδμεια{2}.
  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} van Hoorn says the Boeotian myth is treated in the Boeotian caricature style; Greifenhagen in CVA also thinks the painter exhibits non-Attic features, but the vase is listed as Attic. {2} or Κασσμ[ει]α: both forms are admitted as possible by Furtw.
  • CAVI Comments: Van Hoorn gives the number: Berlin 3186. Ex Naples, Bourguignon collection. - Kretschmer interprets Kadmeia as an indication of place; it could also refer to the sphinx. The kappa is smeared. Compare Brindisi, Museo Provinciale, RF amphora (Kretschmer (1894), 148 and 175): Κασσμος. Cf. also Threatte (1980), 567-68.
