CAVI Lemma: RF pointed amphora. From Vulci. Oreithyia Painter. Second quarter fifth. Ca.
475.
CAVI Subject: A: Boreas and Oreithyia between two girls. B: continuation: Cecrops and
Erechtheus with two girls.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: to left of the shoulder of a girl trying to rescue Oreithyia, retr.:
Ερσε{1}. To left of Boreas's middle, retr.: Βορας{2}. Above the heads of Boreas
and Oreithyia, retr.: Ορει(θ)υα.(2)a Around the head and face of a girl running
off: Πανδροσος. B: to right of the lower legs of a girl running to right:
καλος{3}. Around Cecrops' head: Κεκρο[φ]ς{4}. To left of a girl appealing to
Erechtheus, retr.: Αγλαυρος. To left of Erechtheus' lower body, retr.: Ερεχσες,
for Ερεχθευς{5}. Under the foot, Gr.: ΙV. Not in Johnston (1979), or Hackl.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} so FR; CVA gives [Ε]ρσε, in the facs. There is some restoration in FR.
{2} i.e., Βορ[ρ]ας(?). This is the Attic form. {2} a see Threatte (1980), 339.
{3} so in FR and in CVA. Furtwängler says `clearly' and refers to his
`Meisterwerke' 235, n. 5. Formerly read Αφυας, see Welcker in Ant. Denkm. iii,
168, 171. Jahn said: `nicht deutliche Spuren von Buchstaben.' The facs. in CVA
has a clear καλος. {4} FR refers to Kretschmer (1894), 182 and Welcker 170. {5}
FR refers to Kretschmer 192 for -ης = -ευς. Welcker considered σ = θ a Dorism.
Then we could write: Ερεχσε̅́ς, Doric.
CAVI Comments: Small letters, old-fashioned writing. The καλος on B might refer to Cecrops,
or be for καλως, a comment. For the connection of the myth with the battle of
Artemisium and the founding of the sanctuary at the Ilissus, see FR.
