CAVI Lemma: RF cup. From Cerveteri. Onesimos (P). Euphronios, potter. Early fifth.
500-490. Ca. 490 (Richter). Early (Beazley).
CAVI Subject: Int.: Heracles with a boy carrying his luggage{2}. A: Heracles and the sons
of Eurytus. B: very fragmentary: Heracles attacking a man or youth at an
altar{3}.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: to left of Heracles' face: hερακλες, retr. Starting above his head:
Ευφρονιος εποι[εσεν]. A: a man with a bow; to right of his forehead:
Ιφιτ[ος]{4}. Under Heracles' outstretched arm: (h)ερακλες, end-boustr{5}. To
left of a fallen youth's head: Κλυτιος. B: Between Heracles and his opponent,
facing the former: [---]κες{6}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} since augmented by frs. in Leipzig and Dresden. {2} Philoctetes?
(Beazley). Hyllos or a slave?; less likely, Philoctetes, Hyllos, Oionos
(Richter). {3} so Beazley in ARV[2], who compares Louvre G 50, ARV[2] 70.
Perhaps Heracles and Bousiris (Richter). {4} note that the tau resembles an
Ionic gamma as on Munich 8935, which is by Euphronios. {5} the heta resembles a
nu. {6} Herakes or an unknown follower of Bousiris (Richter).
CAVI Comments: The signature is in larger letters than the name labels. Cohen wonders
whether Euphronios made Onesimos write it large or whether E. wrote it himself;
Guy apud Cohen n. 99 is sure of the latter. [Note that the rhos differ: but is
that enough?]
