CAVI Lemma: RF calyx krater. From Cerveteri. Near Peleus Painter and Hector Painter.
Third quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: A: Phorbas; Theseus charging; an Amazon on horseback. B: a king between two
women.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: to right of Phorbas' helmet crest: Φορβα[ς]{1}. In the same position:
(Θ)εσευς{2}. To right of the Amazon's head: Μελοσα{3}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} my reading from a photo.; Bothmer has Φορβας. The facs. in KAV shows a
very odd phi (a triangle with a projecting vertical through it). {2} according
to KAV's facs., the theta has the dot at 4 o'clock just outside the circle. {3}
Matheson prints ΜΕΛΥΣΑ, which must be a misprint. For the name see New York
44.11.1 (a woman's name) and Vatican, Astarita 701 (maenad).
