CAVI Lemma: Fr. of BF neck amphora. Red-line Painter{1}. Last quarter sixth. Ca. 510
(Cahn).
CAVI Subject: A: Heracles and the Lion; behind, Athena; Iolaus. B: Return of Helen [so
Cahn]: a woman between two warriors.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: above Heracles and the lion: nonsense: εαϙσκδις.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} this vase is connected with the Leagros Group (Cahn).
CAVI Comments: Ex Basel, H.A.C. Kunst der Antike. Cahn thinks rightly that the inscription
imitates hερακλες. Presumably miswritten by an illiterate, although the koppa is
remarkable. The writer knew the letters of the alphabet but could not write
words.
