CAVI Lemma: RF kalathos{1}. From Agrigento. Brygos Painter. 480-470. Very late (see
ARV[2]).
CAVI Subject: A: Sappho and Alcaeus. B: Dionysus and a maenad.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: above and to right of Alcaeus' head: Αλκαιος. From his open mouth: οοο
οο{2}. Between the lower parts of the figures: Δαμα[ς] κα(λ)ος. To right of
(behind) Sappho's head: Σαφο, i.e., Σαφ[φ]ο. B: to right of Dionysus' mouth:
καλος{3}. To left of the maenad's mouth: καλος, retr.{3}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} "kalathoid vase with spout," ARV[2]. {2} five small circles in two
groups: they represent the sounds of singing, not letters. {3} in position as if
spoken, although they are not.
CAVI Comments: Furtwängler attributed the vase to the Brygos Painter and Beazley finally
agreed; it would be very late; Robertson 118 wonders whether the Dokimasia
Painter is possible. On the ancient sources for the legends see FR ii.
