CAVI Lemma: RF cup. Manner of Epeleios Painter. Last quarter sixth. 510-500.
CAVI Subject: Int.: naked youth stooping in a large vat(1) (his arms are in it). A: two
nude youths facing at a laver, their hands in it; at right, a third youth. B:
similar.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: to left and right of youth's head: hο πα(ι)ς{2}. A: just below the rim,
between the heads: (h)ο ^ παι^ς κα^λος. B: similar: (h)ο ^ πα^ις κ^αλος.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Beazley and Oakley say `bell krater'. My note says: similar to lug
krater. Not exactly either, as the handles are rounded, solid and turned down.
`Vat' is best. {2} CVA shows: hο παλς; the iota miswritten as Ionic(?) lambda
under the influence of καλος?
CAVI Comments: The Ext. clearly shows bathers, presumably athletes washing. Oakley therefore
thinks that the Int. also shows someone washing: cf. Ginouvès 51-54. Cf. also
CVA, Oxford 2, 105 and pl. 51,3. J. Bousquet and J. Marcadé, `Le paintre
d'Euergides,' RA ...., 41-43. C.F. Moss, `Grape-treading Scenes on Red-figured
Kylixes: a New Interpretation,' AJA 87 (1983) 246 (abstract), thinks the vats
are being cleaned and scraped in preparation for the new vintage. - Large,
careless letters.
CAVI Number: 1942
