CAVI Lemma: RF pyxis with lid. From Athens. Unidentified follower of Douris. Second
quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: Body: Hesperides? (four women, idealized). Fountain, hydriai, an apple tree
with snake; one girl is picking fruit.
CAVI Inscriptions: Inscriptions above the figures: Ιππολυτη :* Μαψαυρα, not aligned with the
preceding. Θετις.
CAVI Comments: The pertinence of the names is not clear. Hippolyte could be the first or
second figure from the left, Mapsaura is probably the third and Thetis clearly
the fourth. For the names see FR and ARV[2]. Mapsaura: Hes., Theog. 872: αἱ δ'
ἄλλαι μὰψ αὖραι ἐπιπνείουσι θάλασσαν. The figure work is not by the same hand as
London E 773 (ARV[2]).
