- CAVI Lemma: RF lekythos. From Attica. Manner of Meidias Painter. Last quarter fifth.
- CAVI Subject: Shapiro after Brückner: Preparations for Marriage: a woman with a chest on
her head and a woman with a branch(?), both moving toward an altar; a statue on
a column; a seated woman, probably Aphrodite.
- CAVI Inscriptions: Above the woman with the sprig, one name above the other, starting in the
same place but hardly stoich.: Θαλεια. Ευνομια.
- CAVI Comments: Brückner suggested the ceremony of newly-weds in a sanctuary of Aphrodite
Pandemos. Beazley in ARV[2] did not decide between Aphrodite and Hera; Burn
thinks the statue is that of Aphrodite. The pairing of Thaleia and Eunomia shows
knowledge of Hesiod, Theog. 909 (Shapiro). Collignon misapplied the names
(Shapiro 85 n. 179). The women are given names of companions of Aphrodite.
