- CAVI Collection: New York 19.192.44.
- CAVI Lemma: RF amphora. From Greece. Unattributed. Last quarter fifth. Ca. 420 (Richter).
- CAVI Subject: A: Apollo and muses: Apollo seated at left, with his lyre; a standing muse; a
seated muse with a wreath. B: Adrastus in a chariot to left.
- CAVI Inscriptions: Inscriptions: Grr. filled with white(1): A: above Apollo's head:
[Α]π̣ολλω̣ν̣. Above the standing muse: Ορα[ν]ια̣. B: To left of Adrastus'
forehead: Αδραστος. Above the horses' heads, in larger letters which are more
widely spaced: κ̣αλος{2}.
- CAVI Footnotes: {1} D. Feytmans cites a letter from G.M.A. Richter, in which she says that
the white in the grooves of the letters is not incrustation; it could be modern,
but then why not in all the letters; R. was not quite certain that it is
ancient, since there is some white also where there was once the nu of Ourania.
A RF cup in Brussels shows the same technique. {2} not necessarily connected
with Adrastus.
- CAVI Comments: Is it certain that the inscriptions are ancient? The white (see below) has
mostly disappeared. The name of the seated muse is missing. Three-stroke sigmas
in the name of Adrastus; elsewhere they are four-stroke. The only RF
representation of Adrastus; Richter connects this with the alliance with Argos
in 420. Mixed alphabet.
