CAVI Collection: LONDON E 456.
CAVI Lemma: FRS. OF RF STAMNOS. FROM CERVETERI. GROUP OF POLYGNOTOS; NEAR POLYGNOTOS (BEAZLEY). THIRD QUARTER FIFTH. CA. 440.
CAVI Subject: A: DIOMEDES SACRIFICING (REPLICA OF E 455). B: THREE YOUTHS (AS E 455).
CAVI Inscriptions: ABOVE THE HEAD: Διομεδες. TO LEFT OF NIKE'S HEAD: Nικε.
CAVI Comments: FOUND WITH LONDON E 455. A DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT HAND FROM E 455. THE VASE IS NOW CLEANED AND ATTRIBUTED TO POLYGNOTOS HIMSELF BY MATHESON. WEBSTER (1972), 51 AND N. 1 IDENTIFIES DIOMEDES WITH THE HISTORICAL PA 4070 [BUT LGPN II DOES NOT LIST THE VASES AS REFERRING TO A HISTORICAL DIOMEDES]. DIOMEDES ALSO APPEARS ON GOTHA 51 AND A RF FR. IN PALERMNO BY THE ACHILLES PAINTER, ARV[2] 992/64. MY VIEW IS THAT LIKE IN THE CASE OF DEINOMACHE (SEE THE RF NECK AMPHORA BY AISON IN CHANTILLY, ARV[2] 1176/25) THE NAME IS MYTHICAL BUT CHOSEN BECAUSE THERE IS ALSO A HISTORICAL PERSONAGE.
