CAVI Collection: Plovdiv, Departmental Archaeological Museum inv. 298.
CAVI Lemma: RF hydria. From Duvanlij. Kadmos Painter. 430-420.
CAVI Subject: Upper zone: theoxenia: lectisternium for the Dioscuri, with other figures.
Lower zone: Departure of Polyneices?{1}.
CAVI Inscriptions: Upper zone: the inscriptions are unclear in van Hoorn's dr., perhaps in part
nonsense with imitation letters: κο[υ]ρ[ο]ς(?) by the left Dioscurus. κομς(?) by
the lyre player. κομος(?) by the woman at right. κο[υ]ρ[ο]ς(?) by the right
Dioscurus.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Bothmer and Milne apud ARV[2] 1686; on p. 1187, Beazley says: `arrival of
youths.'
CAVI Comments: Very uncertain readings. This may be inv. 1527; it is so listed by M. Reho,
Archeologiya (Bulgarian) 31 (1989) no. 1, in his article on Attic vases in
Thracian funerary contexts, ibid., 11-19, figs. 1-13; this vase: figs. 5-7; also
by Lezzi-Hafter. Lezzi-Hafter: the Theoxenia for the Dioscouri could be linked
to Thracian religious beliefs.
