CAVI Lemma: RF pelike. From Vulci. Lykaon Painter. Third quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: A: Warrior Leaving Home. B: a king, and two women holding armor.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: the warrior is called Σκεπαρνος{1}. Threatte (1980), 346, lists another
inscription: Οιν[ε]υς.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} `adze'.
CAVI Comments: Replica of London E 379, where the warrior is Lykaon. LGPN ii lists Skeparnos
as a possible historical name (only here) with the caveat `(fict.?)'. A similar
relation between mythical and non-mythical naming occurs between London E 455, E
456 and Once Gotha 51; see the entry London E 455.
