CAVI Lemma: RF neck amphora. From Vulci. Achilles Painter. Second quarter fifth. 460-455
(Oakley). Early.
CAVI Subject: A: Euphorbos with the infant Oedipus. B: a man{1}.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: to right of Euphorbos' face: Ευφορβος. To right of Oedipus' shoulder:
Οιδιποδας.(2)
CAVI Footnotes: {1} de Ridder thought it might be Polybus, but he has only a stick, not a
scepter. {2} after Reichhold's dr.; de Ridder gives some odd letter forms.
CAVI Comments: Euphorbus (`good nourisher'), the Corinthain shepherd, is bringing the child
to the king of Corinth. For the myth see Oakley 48 n. 155; the figure on B is a
stock figure and not king Polybus.
