  • CAVI Collection: Baltimore, Johns Hopkins B 5.(1).
  • CAVI Lemma: RF cup. From Chiusi. Kiss Painter. Last quarter sixth. 510-500.
  • CAVI Subject: Int.: a boy athlete and a man{2}. Ext.: komos: A: two youths at a krater; at right, two more. B: bearded dancer; youth; flautist; girl.
  • CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: to right of the man's head: Λεαγρος. Behind the man's body, retr.: [κ]αλος. A: near the left youth: Ε[πιδρομος] and below: καλος. B: above the figures: [Επ]ιδρομος, and below: [κ]αλος. Under the foot, Gr.: ϝΕ. Not in Johnston (1979){3}.
  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} so Add.[2] [[Crawford: Johns Hopkins University 1784]]; ex Baltimore, Archaeological Society (once on loan to D.M. Robinson). {2} so ARV[2]; CVA thinks, a trainer, but refers to Raubitschek. {3} good photo in CVA, pl. 6,16. Etruscan?
  • CAVI Comments: = 1784. Raubitschek thinks Leagros is standing before his own statue which he dedicated to the Twelve Gods in the Agora. The extant statue base: Thompson–Wycherley (1972), 132. - Neils dates the cup ca. 500. Francis' and Vickers' down-dating of the cup is discussed by D.G. Kyle, Athletics in Ancient Athens (Leiden 1987) 222-23/P 100. Neils does not accept Raubitschek's theory, rejects identification of the figures in the tondo with Leagros, thinks the man could be a trainer, judge or onlooker, The `statue' is a living youth, exterior komoi are in celebration of his victory. For a boy musician on a base in a tondo, see New York 26.60.79, ARV[2] 891/1. Boardman [wrongly] locates the vase in Oxford, Miss; he says that Leagros kalos has no connection with the statue, a connection of which Francis and Vickers make much of in ProcCambrPhilSoc 207 (1981) 98-9, 118-22: see E.D. Francis and M. Vickers, `Leagros Kalos,' Proc. Cambridge Philol. Soc. 207 (n.s. 27; 1981) 98 and ff., 118-22, pl. 1 (Int.)
