CAVI Lemma: RF pelike. Painter of Birth of Athena. Ca. 450 (Cahn).
CAVI Subject: A: The Dioscuri: Iris with oinochoe and phiale, wingless; Zeus; Athena;
Kastor(1); Polydeukes{1}. B: Demophon and Akamas; Pompeus (old man); Phaleros;
Demophon with spear and helmet in hand; Akamas; old man, Dosippos. (The old men
talk agitatedly).
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Cahn thinks they are being sent out, but they are not on horseback. {2}
the omega corrected from an omicron (Cahn).
CAVI Comments: The inscriptions from Auktion's text. Pompeus and Dosippos are apparently
unknown. Mixed alphabet (Attic with omega). I think B is about sending out the
sons of Theseus. (Phaleros is the eponymos hero of the deme of Phaleron.) Hence
A is probably about sending out the Dioscuri.
