CAVI Lemma: BF neck amphora. From Vulci. Three-line Group. 530-520.
CAVI Subject: A: Achilles and Penthesilea: an unconventional scheme of two figures on
horseback meeting over a fallen warrior, here an Amazon{1}. B: fight: a similar
design, but the combatant are male.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: to left of the left horse's legs: Αχι(λ)[λ]εος{2}. To right of the right
rider's back: Πενθεσιλεας.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Bothmer points out that he knows no parallel for Achilles on horseback,
and that the names seem to be attached somewhat capriciously. {2} the lambda is
miswritten as a three-stroke sigma.
CAVI Comments: Note influence of Lysippides Painter (K.-G.). The photo shows only part of
the inscriptions. Both inscriptions are oddly placed near the rear ends of the
two horses, at the margins of the picture.
