CAVI Lemma: Frs. of RF lekythos. From Corinth, South Stoa, between piers 33 and 34{1}.
Berlin Painter. First quarter fifth. 500-490. Early (Beazley).
CAVI Subject: Heracles and Athena.
CAVI Inscriptions: Fr. d: (preserves the top maeander and a bit of a head:) in front of the
head: Αλκ̣[μεον καλος].
CAVI Footnotes: {1} new additions to a fr. found earlier. The old fr., found in 1904, was
also from pier 34 and not, as Luce thought, from the Lechaion Road.
CAVI Comments: On the different Alkmeons of the late sixth and early fifth centuries, see
Barrett (1978), 67-69 and the above paper in Praktika. - Robertson: one of the
first lekythoi painted by the Berlin Painter, although not in his earliest
style. - The alphabet is Attic, with lambda turned 180 degrees, which makes it
resemble an Ionic lambda.
