CAVI Lemma: RF squat lekythos. From Athens. Unattributed. Early fourth.
CAVI Subject: Uncertain: Paris and Helen or Judgment of Paris? At left, a woman; Eros and
Paris, seated; Athena.
CAVI Inscriptions: Above the woman's head; ΗΓ̣[--{1}. Above Paris' head: Αλ[εξ]ανδρο[ς(?)]{2}.
Starting to left of Athena's helmet crest: Α(θ)η̣[--{3}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} eta and a letter that looks like a gamma in Guilleron's drawing (AA
1896). The anxious expression of the figure argues against the identification
with Hera. C. Robert's suggestion [Παρ]ηγ[ορος] has rightly been rejected. {2}
the final sigma may not have been written. {3} theta a blot; eta uncertain.
CAVI Comments: = Athens, N.M. CC 1942. For the subject, see Kahil, loc. cit. Ionic alphabet.
