CAVI Collection: Larissa, Archaeological Museum 86/101.
CAVI Lemma: Frs. of RF calyx krater. From Larissa. Painter of Munich 2335. Third quarter
fifth. Ca. 440-430.
CAVI Subject: Upper row: A: at the right as preserved: auletike: flautist, with a wreath
offered him from the right; from left to right: a column; a bearded and wreathed
man seated [judge?]; flying Nike bringing a hydria; a column; youth with his
staff seated [trainer?]; lower part of a flautist; Nike (see Tiverios: hand with
wreath to left). B: aulodia: at near left: two figures on a platform, no doubt
flautist and aulode, both facing to right; at left, a figure and a column; to
right of the platform: a bearded and wreathed man, seated with his staff
[judge?]; a standing figure and traces of another(?). Lower row: A: lower parts
of three hoplitodromoi; at left, a bearded trumpeter. B: uncertain contest
(perhaps victory in the boys' foot race [Tiverios], but see also note 1 below):
left to right: head of Nike; head of a boy(?); a bearded man with his staff,
standing [judge or trainer?]; a boy walking{1}.
CAVI Inscriptions: Inscriptions horizontal and above the heads: upper row: A: 1.: above the
seated man at left: Αριστων{2}. 2.: Nικη. 3.: above the seated youth:
Nεοκλης{2}. B: 4.: above the seated man: Αμφ̣ικλης. Lower row: A: 5.: above the
trumpeter: Σιγαλος. B: 6.: above Nike: Nικη. 7.: above the first boy (victor?):
Λυσικλης. 8.: above the bearded man: Αντιφανης. 9.: above the right boy:
Θρασυκλης.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} proclamation of a victor: part of Nike; victor; umpire; loser (Valavanis,
no doubt correctly). {2} Tiverios thinks both named figures are athletes - or
one of them (Ariston) is perhaps the archon of 454/4.
CAVI Comments: Tiverios thinks these are real persons: see him for identifications. He
connects the vase with the Panathenaea. Some names are historical, known from
other contexts (Shapiro). A bespoken vase, probably commissioned by a man from
Larissa. Lower row of B: Lysikles is the victor, Antiphanes the umpire, and
Thrasykles the loser (so Valavanis, see below). Note that many of the names end
in --κλης. Ionic alphabet.
