CAVI Lemma: Fragmentary RF column krater. From Athens. Myson. Myson, potter. First
quarter fifth.
CAVI Subject: A: Athena and a male at an altar. B: Athena seated and a youth.
CAVI Inscriptions: On the neck, horizontal two-liner: Μυσον εγραφσεν καποι|εσεν{1}. A: on the
base of the altar, nonsense partly covered by lines: (.)o(.)>γ(.)(.). I am not
certain that these are letters.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} the second line is centered under the letters ραφσ, with seven letters on
either side.
CAVI Comments: Frs. a - b. A small vase. - Robertson thinks it reasonable to hypothesize
that the painter is the dedicator, a theory he thinks supported by the subjects
on the vase. Pottier, Mon. Piot 29 (1928) 149-92, rejected Beazley's
construction of Myson's works, but see now L. Berge, Myson: a Craftsman of
Athenian Red-figured Vases (1992). A and B both have Athena and a youth: Pottier
suggested that he was Myson himself; Robertson has a different idea; see p. 127,
where he cites Berge who thinks the figure with Athena on A is Myson, that on
the other side, the Pig Painter; the occasion of the dedication being the
latter's entry into the workshop, being perhaps a son or nephew. This is too
speculative. - The nu reversed three times.
