CAVI Lemma: BF AMPHORA. FROM CERVETERI. PRIAM PAINTER. LAST QUARTER SIXTH. CA.
520-510{1}.
CAVI Subject: A: HARNESSING THE CHARIOT OF ATHENA AND HERACLES. B: DIONYSUS WITH A SATYR
AND TWO MAENADS.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: TO RIGHT OF ATHENA'S FOREHEAD AND ABOVE HERACLES' HEAD, RESEMBLING A
TWO-LINER: ḥερ̣ακλεους κορε [[H(ε)]]{2}. ABOVE THE HEADS OF THE ATTENDANTS AT
RIGHT, SIMILAR: καλος Μυν[ν]ιχος.(3) Ḥ(ε̅)ρ̣ακλέους. (VESTIGES OF NO MORE THAN
TWO LETTERS BEFORE ALPHA.)
CAVI Footnotes: {1} EARLY (BEAZLEY IN ABV); LATE SIXTH (IN CVA), BUT THAT IS TOO LATE. {2} I
DOUBT THAT THERE IS ENOUGH SPACE FOR A LETTER BETWEEN HETA AND RHO. SYLLABIC
HETA OR ETA? KLEIN (1898), 36 DOUBTED THE INSCRIPTION. BEAZLEY IN CVA RIGHTLY
REJECTS THE READING Hερακλεους κορη (CF. KRETSCHMER AND OTHERS) AND ASSUMES A
CONFLATION OF Διος κορε WITH Hερακλεους. I THINK THERE ARE TWO INSCRIPTIONS, PUT
IN THE WRONG ORDER. Κορε STANDS FOR ATHENA BY ITSELF. FOR THE SP. ου SEE THE
EXAMPLES IN THREATTE (1980), 240. {3} CF. PA 10,477. KLEIN WRONGLY READ Μυνιχος.
THE NAME IS Μυννιχος, NOT Μονιχος (I.E. Μουνιχος); SEE THREATTE (1980), 265.
BOTH NAMES EXIST, SEE LGPN II. S.VV. Μονιχος FOR Μουνιχος IS CITED FROM
KRETSCHMER (1894), 120, NAPLES 86,496 BY AISON, OTHERWISE IT IS LATE. Μυννιχος
IS CITED FROM OXFORD 212 AND IN THE 4TH CENTURY. ARE THE NAMES ON THE VASES
REALLY TWO DIFFERENT NAMES?
