  • CAVI Collection: Germany, Private.
  • CAVI Lemma: RF pointed neck amphora. Copenhagen Painter (Isler-Kerenyi). 480-470. Early (Cahn).
  • CAVI Subject: Shoulder: Centauromachy, with Theseus and Peirithoos. Body: Heracles in the Garden of the Hesperides: Heracles seated on a block; men seated; Athena; women with sprigs.
  • CAVI Inscriptions: Shoulder: (Θ)εσ[ε]υς. Πε[--(?)]ιδος{1}. A warrior: [--]δια{1}. Body: seated man with staff to left of the first tree (from the left): Οκεανος. To right of the first tree, a similar person: Στρ[υ]μον. Two pairs of a man conversing with a woman; The first woman: Αμαναος. The second man: Nι[λ]ος{2}. Seated to right of a second tree: h[ερ]ακλεε(ς){3}. Facing Heracles: Α[θ]εναια. A bearded man seated to right of a third tree, his name missing (it should be Atlas); a woman faces him. Youth and man conversing; between them: [--]ς. To right of this man and to left of a woman approaching Ocean: Ἀδρό{4}. At the level of the last three heads: an Etruscan Gr.{5}.
  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} so Cahn. The first is supposed to be for Peirithoos. Probably: Πε[ρι](θ)ος. {2} Guy, who identified this fr. {3} possibly hε[ρ]ακλεε(ς) [[h(ε)]]. {4} should be Ἁδρό. {5} see Cahn, p. 109. A similar Gr. is found on a pointed neck amphora by the Copenhagen Painter, Zürich, University (loan): see Isler-Kerenyi (1977), 7 and 46 n. 88.
  • CAVI Comments: Cahn's handling of the inscriptions leaves many questions unanswered. Tiverios discusses the relation to Pherecydes. Mixed alphabet?
  • CAVI Number: 3812
