CAVI Subject: A: DIONYSUS, HEPHAESTUS, AND, ON A PLATFORM, A SATYR (THE CHORUS MASTER FROM
A SATYR PLAY). B: THREE YOUTHS.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: STARTUNG FROM DIONYSUS' MOUTH AND STRETCHING TO THE RIGHT OF HEPHAESTUS:
καλος Ηφαρστος, FOR Ηφαιστος{1}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} SO TILLYARD, DEFINITELY NOT A MISPRINT, BUT MISWRITTEN.
CAVI Comments: I GIVE THE INSCRIPTION AS ONE, BUT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT καλος GOES WITH
DIONYSUS AND HEPHAESTUS IS SIMPLY NAMED; THE LATTER IS WHAT TILLYARD THOUGHT,
DECLARING A KALOS-NAME FOR HEPHAESTUS IMPOSSIBLE. THIS MAY BE A SCENE FROM A
SATYR PLAY (DIONYSUS PERSUADING HEPHAESTUS TO RETURN TO OLYMPUS?), OR IT MAY AT
LEAST HAVE A CONNECTION WITH THE SATYR PLAY.
