CAVI Lemma: RF pelike. From Orvieto. Triptolemos Painter. First quarter fifth. 480-470
(Fischer-Hansen).
CAVI Subject: A: Triptolemos: in the center a bearded figure is seated on a stool, holding
out a phiale; left and right: Demeter and Persephone{1}. B: young Theseus at the
bottom of the sea, seated on stool, between Poseidon and Amphitrite.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: Τριπτολεμο[ς]{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} ARV[2] 1648: (on Louvre G 187, 361/2): "The persons on B [i.e. Plouton
(rather than Keleos) with Demeter and Persephone] might be expected to be the
same as on the Ny Carlsberg pelike (no. 19); but there the male figure is
inscribed Triptolemos: strangely; rightly?". Beazley must be comparing B of
Louvre G 187 with A of the pelike. {2} so F.-H.
CAVI Comments: An unusual picture of a middle-aged Triptolemos without the winged chariot;
Fischer-Hansen follows Friis Johansen in defending its being T.
