CAVI Lemma: Frs. of RF calyx krater. From Athens, Agora D 16. Kleophrades Painter. First
quarter fifth. Early (Ashmead). Ca. 490 (Moore).
CAVI Subject: A: fr. a: head of an old man. Fr. b: body of a draped youth{1}.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: to left of top of head: Φ[--], or Θ[--]{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} not certain that both frs. are from the same side. {2} Moore reads: in
front of the old (white-haired) man (who is holding a spear), near the break:
Φ[--], retr. [She does not give theta, as I had suggested earlier. The letter in
the ph. is almost complete: circular phi. I think I can see the internal
vertical. The extant letter must have a bit of a stroke instead of a dot. Moore
thinks the man is probably Phoenix as on the amphora Würzburg 508, ARV[2] 182/5,
as tentatively suggested by Ashmead and accepted by Beazley. He must have been
seated. The figure on the other fr. may be Hermes. B. Dohle, Klio 49 (1967) 105
thinks from a Mission to Achilles; so also, but with a question mark, Boardman
(1976), 5, and this last is also Moore's view.
CAVI Comments: Two frs.
