- CAVI Collection: London B 177.
- CAVI Lemma: BF neck amphora. Unattributed{1}. Third quarter sixth (?).
- CAVI Subject: A: Laios, Keleos, Kerberos, Aigolios, stung by bees. B: satyrs and maenads.
- CAVI Inscriptions: A: Laios. Keleos. Kerberos. Aigolios.
- CAVI Footnotes: {1} Bea. Arch. gives two anonymous attributions: manner of the Painter of
Berlin 1686 and manner of the Princeton Painter.
- CAVI Comments: The inscriptions are surely false. Beazley in Para. does not mention them; he
merely says that the amphora `Basel, ex Züst' [now Basel, Ant. Mus. Z-364, see
Add.[2] 80], by the Swing Painter, has the same subject as London B 177, the
subject being: B: men attacked by bees. Bea. Arch. seems to consider the
inscriptions genuine.
