CAVI Lemma: RF cup. From Cerveteri. Painter of Oxford Brygos. Brygos, potter. First
quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: Int.: uncertain subject: Odysseus and Diomedes? A: fight of Greeks and
Persians. B: arming.
CAVI Inscriptions: On one handle(1), Dip.: Βρυγος επ[οι]εσεν.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} the signature is on the left side of the handle, hence it is not by the
Brygos Painter (see Bothmer (1982), 47).
CAVI Comments: + one fr., JHS 34, p. 108. + two frs. ex Leipzig. + two frs. ex Frankfurt
(see CVA, GB 9). + New York 1973.175.2. A. Barrett and M. Vickers think the ref.
is to Plataea. This is denied by Williams because of the bulls as shield devices
which are meant to recall the bull of Marathon; B he thinks shows the departure
for Marathon; the Int. may show two heroes having risen up at Marathon (Bothmer,
apud Barrett and Vickers, JHS 98 (1978) 24); possibly, Callimachus and Stesilaus
at the altar of the Heracleum at Marathon. Tailed rho.
