CAVI Lemma: BF column krater. Lykomedes Painter (Bothmer). Last quarter sixth. Ca. 520 (LGPN ii).
CAVI Subject: Rim: animals; inside: dolphins and ships. Body: A: The Struggle for the Tripod; Lykomedes in a chariot; Artemis; Iolaos in a chariot; Athena. B: Hermes, Dionysus, gods and goddesses.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: Αρτεμιδος. The charioteer: Λ(υ)κομε|δες{1}. Horizontal and boustrophedon: ...... -] | . . . [-Similar: hερακ|λες: ..... [- | . . . -] Unclear, to left of a face: Ι(.)[..]ο, retr.{2}. Αθεναια̣{3}. These are my readings; I did not see καλος unless it is the inscription `to left of a face'. B: not inscribed.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} so Beazley; my note from a photo has alpha without cross stroke for the second letter, but Beazley must be right: is the upsilon upside down? Pausanias 7, 4.1, has Lykomedes as son of Apollo and Parthenope; there is no Lak(k?)omedes in Pape or LGPN ii. {2} the second letter is the tip of alpha or delta; the reading is unclear. {3} or: Αθεναια̣[ς](?).
CAVI Comments: Lykomedes kalos, Add.[2]. Lykomedes is both a mythical name (see below) and a historical one (see LGPN ii). Here it must be a mythical figure, if Beazley in ARV[2] 594 is right. Dotted delta (cf. also Buitron-Oliver (1995), 41 n. 263).
