CAVI Lemma: RF cup. From Vulci. Brygos Painter. Brygos, potter. Early fifth. 500-490.
CAVI Subject: Int.: Phoenix served with wine by Briseis. A-B: Iliupersis.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: above Briseis: Βρισεες, for Βρισεις. Phoinix is also inscribed. A:
Ακαμα[ς], retr. Πολυχσενε, retr. Πριαμο[ς]{1}. Nεοπτ(ο)λε̣[μος]. B: to left of
the face of a Greek killing a Trojan: hυπερ[ο]ς, retr.{2}. To right of the thigh
of another Greek: Ορσιμε[νε]ς{3}. Over the face of a prostrate Trojan and under
the name of Andromache: (ι)μ(ο)μυ{4}. Αν[δ]ρομαχε, retr. To left of the face of
a youth running away, with end-boustr.: Αστυαναχς{5}. On one handle, in BG:
Βρυγος εποιεσεν.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} or Πριαμο(.)(?). {2} CB notes that he is in the same position as the
woman on A who is wielding a pestle (ὕπερος). {3} FR: Ορσιμες. The sigma is
placed under the epsilon (a shield interferes). {4} illegible. {5} FR:
Andromache and Astyanax are inappropriate.
CAVI Comments: Two names on B are unknown; the painter has given names to an uninscribed
model. Robertson discusses the names: the woman being led away: Polyxene. Her
captor: Akamas. The dead child and the child running away are both Astyanax. The
woman with a pestle protecting the child: Andromache. A double Astyanax is very
unusual; a single warrior leading a woman away is usually Menelaus and Helen.
Robertson tries to justify these anomalies and argues against the suggestion by
Cambitoglou p. 33 that an assistant put on the names haphazardly. [In AttScr
(1990), 89/552 I say that the inscriptions are badly misspelled and misapplied.]
Tailed rho. The sigma is three-stroke in the signature, four-stroke in names.
