CAVI Lemma: RF PSYKTER. OLTOS. LAST QUARTER SIXTH. 510-500.
CAVI Subject: SIX ARMED MEN (`HEROES', BEAZLEY) RIDING ON DOPHINS.
CAVI Inscriptions: BY EACH RIDER, FROM THE MOUTH: επι δελφινος, RETR.
CAVI Comments: LISTED IN ADD.[2] AS: NEW YORK L. 1979.17.1 (ON LOAN FROM SCHIMMEL). - I
INTERPRET THE INSCRIPTIONS AS ORNAMENTAL ADDITIONS TO THE PICTURES; SIFAKIS
THINKS THEY ARE WORDS SUNG BY A DOLPHIN CHORUS. BEAZLEY IN ARV[2] POINTS TO
PARALLELS WHICH ADD A FLUTE PLAYER. IT IS CLEARLY A CHORUS, BUT IT DOES NOT
FOLLOW THAT THE WORDS ARE A SONG. - DROUGOU AGREES WITH SIFAKIS. - LISSARRAGUE
READS EPIDELPHINOS `MOUNTED ON A DOLPHIN'; IS THIS A PRINTING ERROR OR DOES HE
THINK IT IS AN ADJ.? L. NOTES THE SHIELD DEVICES, THREE OF WHICH ARE VASE
SHAPES. WHEN THE PSYKTER IS SET IN A KRATER THE DOLPHINS SWIM IN THE WINE-DARK
SEA. HE HAS MORE ON DOLPHINS AND SYMPOSIUM SCENES.
