  • CAVI Collection: Paris, Louvre G 17.
  • CAVI Lemma: RF cup. Oltos. Ca. 510. Ca. 520 (Villard).
  • CAVI Subject: Int.: a youth with a lyre, running. A: Heracles and the Erymanthian boar; at left Athena; at right, the parents of Erystheus. B: Odysseus in a chariot; in front, Hermes.
  • CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: along the right margin: Μεμνο[ν καλ]ος. A: to Athena's lower right: Αθεναια. To right of Heracles' head: hερα[κ]λες. Above Eurystheus' head, interrupted by his raised hand: Ερυ^θυς{1}, retr. Along the mother's body, facing her: Καλ[λ]ιφοβε. To right of the back of the father's head: Στενελος{2}. B: beside Hermes: hερμ[ε]ς, retr.{3}. Between the heads of the horses and of Odysseus, in somewhat larger letters: Μεμ[{μ}νο]ν καλ[ος]{4}. Behind the chariot and under Odysseus' shield: Ολυτ[τ]ευς{5}.
  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} miswritten for Ευρυσθευς, the sigma behind the hand? {2} miswritten for Σθενελος. {3} this inscription does not show in the photo. {4} The cat. gives Memnon with one mu, but the available space is excessive, whence I have added the extra mu, which is common in Oltos. {5} not retr. as the cat.; the last two letters are unclear in the photo.
  • CAVI Comments: For the subject of B Beazley refers to C. Robert. Villard gives somewhat different readings, which do not seem very reliable: Int.: Μεμνονπν... (but he transcribes: Μεμνον καλος). A: Αθεναι. B: hεμ..., retr. Μεμ[νο]ν κα[λος]. Bothmer (1955), 67, read: Int.: Μεμνον [καλ]ος.
