CAVI Lemma: RF calyx krater. Dinos Painter (Bothmer). Last quarter fifth. 430-320
(Leipen). Early (Matheson){1}.
CAVI Subject: A: Death of Aktaion: Artemis; Hekate winged; a tree at a higher level;
Aktaion fighting off the dogs; two companions fleeing [[2087: behind him, a
tree; at right, youth with pilos and another figure]]. B: a bearded man with a
scepter (king?) between two women.
CAVI Inscriptions: The inscriptions in white. A: to right of Artemis' forehead: Αρτεμις. In the
same position for Hekate, among tree branches: Εκατη. Above Aktaion's head:
Ακταιων{2}. Above and between the heads of the companions: Διοκλης.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} "Relatively early", 430-420 (Guy). {2} The photo in Leipen shows only
Ακται; then two spears; then no room to continue horizontally, it seems.
CAVI Comments: [[This is ex CAVI 2087, Basel, private, where the attribution was said to be
due to Kahil.]] Probably now Jerusalem, Borowski. Close to the Kleophon Painter,
to whom E. Simon had attributed it; see Simon (1985a), 276. Diokles is a
Megarian hero (Leipen).
