CAVI Lemma: RF kantharos. From Vulci. Eretria Painter. Epigenes, potter. Third quarter
fifth. 435-430 (Lezzi-Hafter).
CAVI Subject: A: Patroclus and Antilochus departing from Nestor and Thetis. B: Achilles and
Ukalegon departing from Agamemnon and Kymothea (a Nereid).
CAVI Inscriptions: A: Nεσστ[ορ]. Αντ[ι]λοχος{1}. Πατροκλος{2}. Between Patroclus and Thetis, at
mid-height, a horizontal left-aligned non-stoich. two-liner: Επιγενες |
εποεσε{3}. (Θ)ετ[ις]{4}. [Αγ]αμ[ε]μνον{5}. B: To right of back of head:
Αχιλλευς. Similar: Κυμο(θ)εα{6}. [Ο]υκαλε[γ]ον{7}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} so de Ridder's text; the facs. has Αντλοχος. L.-H. reads Αντιλοχος. {2}
so the text; Πατροκλς, facs. {3} complete (Beazley). Ph. of signature: L.-H.,
Eret., pl. 184,B; dr.: fig. 96,b. {4} the theta lacks the dot in the facs.
Θετις, L.-H. {5} L.-H., Eret. 291 n. 566: Ridder (1902), ii, 502 says this
inscription is false; L.-H. notes that it is in part above the head rather than
beside it (as are the other inscriptions), but apparently she accepts it. {6}
the theta lacks the dot in the facs. For Κυματοθεα(?). {7} Oukalegon in Iliad
3.146f. is a wise man (an old Trojan), which he is hardly here (L.-H., who
thinks it odd here). υκαλεον, de Ridder who notes the previous restoration
[Ο]υκαλε[γ]ον (cf. Il. 3.148), but is doubtful because of the spacing. Cf. also
Malibu L.87.AE.120, where Oukalegon is a satyr.
CAVI Comments: Ex Luynes and Basseggio. Regular departure scenes made mythological by the
inscriptions. Rare representations of events before the Trojan Wars. The
readings are uncertain. Mixed alphabet: Ionic gamma and lambda; three- and
four-stroke sigma.
