CAVI Comments: Bothmer lists as: Basel, Antikenmuseum (anonymous loan). - Phoibe and Helen,
as daughter of Leda, are sisters of the Dioscouri. For Phoibe see Eur., IA 50,
and Ovid, Heroides 8.77-78. Bothmer believes that five of the six vases which he
attributes to the Archippe Group are by one hand, the Archippe Painter. Hermary
gives a list of vases figuring the Dioscouri. Attic alphabet. Beta with round
upper loop and incomplete lower (resembling a 9 turned to right).
