CAVI Lemma: BF hydria. From Orvieto. Manner of Lysippides Painter. 530-520.
CAVI Subject: Shoulder: Heracles and Cycnus. Body: Peleus and Thetis in chariot (The
Wedding, according to Shapiro).
CAVI Inscriptions: Body: to left of the heads of the pair in the chariot: Θυονε{1}. Διονυσ̣ος.
Second pair: to right of their faces: Θετις. Between spokes of a wheel: Πελευς.
Behind the horses, Apollo playing the lyre: Απολ[λ]ον. Facing Apollo, the pair
of Heracles and Athena: to left of their faces: hερακλες, retr.{2}. To right of
their legs: Αθεναιας. Hermes: hερ{ε}μες. Between the horses' legs: Αφροδιτε.
Between the two figures at right: Ανφιτριτε, retr. Under the foot, Gr.: ligature
of alpha and D-shaped rho.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Körte identified Thyone with Ariadne, but Beazley points out she is
Semele. {2} because of glare I could only see: hερακ̣... , retr.
CAVI Comments: In ARV[1] attributed to the Andokides (i.e., Lysippides) Painter, in ABS and
ABV to his manner. Recalls Exekias' North Slope krater (Beazley). - On
Thyone-Semele, mother of Dionysus, see Shapiro, pp. 88 and 92. Phi with a long
hasta. Threatte (1980) and (1996) has a different reading for Hermes: hερεμ̣[ς,
adding that CVA, p. 12, gives the inscription incorrectly as hερμες); he
considers hερεμ̣ε[ς a less likely reading. This is most fully discussed in vol.
i. T. makes the error of thinking the vase is by the Lysippides Painter himself.
- Rho once with extended vertical, as on the North Slope krater by Exekias.
