CAVI Lemma: RF cup. From Vulci. Brygos Painter. Brygos, potter. First quarter fifth.
490-480. Ca. 490 (Williams).
CAVI Subject: Symposium: Int.: a youth reclining and a girl dancing. A: two youths, man and
two girls. B: man, two youths, boy and two girls.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: to right of the girl's head: Καλλιστο. A: above the group at left
(referring to the standing youth with a lyre): Πιλον. Above the head of a seated
woman: καλος, for Φιλον καλος. Above the scene: Πιλιπος, retr., for Φιλιπ[π]ος.
The girls are not named. On the cup held by a seated woman, in BG: καλε. Above
the head of a reclining youth: Δεμονικος. The bearded man: Αριστοκρατες. B: to
right of the head of a young oinochoos at left by a column: hο παις καλος. Above
a bearded man reclining in the center: Διπιλος. Further to right: καλος, for
Διφιλος καλος. Above and to right of a seated girl's head: Nικοπιλε. To right of
a reclining youth's head: καλε, for Nικοφιλε καλε.
CAVI Comments: The letters are variable, e.g. the kappas. Tailed rho. For the "psilosis" see
Hartwig (1893), 320-21; also Cambitoglou 11, with my suggestion in n. 37 that
the figures are thought to be drunk; further AttScr (1990), 88 and Williams,
CVA, p. 56. Kretschmer deduced that [the] Brygos [Painter] was a foreigner, and
this is accepted by Cambitoglou. The same misspelling occurs on Florence 3949,
ARV[2] 376/90 [[= 3562]], but not on other vases. "Tag-kalos," ARV[2] 1606.
Kallisto as the name of a hetaera: Aelian, Var. Hist. 13,32. For Nikophile, see
Peschel 184.
