CAVI Lemma: BF Panathenaic amphora. From Vulci. Swing Painter{1}. Third quarter sixth.
Ca. 530.
CAVI Subject: A: Athena between Hermes and a bearded man{2}. B: the winner in the horse
race: a boy jockey(3) on a horse, led by a bearded man and followed by a youth
carrying a tripod.
CAVI Inscriptions: B: From the mouth of the man, curving down: Δυν[ν]εικετυ : hιπ[π]ος : νικαι.
[Under foot,] Gr.: hϝ. See Johnston (1979), 22 and fig. 14,b (facs).
CAVI Footnotes: {1} so Beazley; near the Princeton Painter, Böhr. {2} Shapiro thinks the man
is Dysniketos and Hermes is greeting him, not Athena who is a statue (Athena
Promachos). {3} Webster (1972), 64 suggested the jockey is Dynniketos' son; and
Shapiro thinks D. might be a nickname rather than a proper name, see n. 114. I
doubt this: the vase commemorates the omen of the name. {4} Shapiro accepts
Webster's answer to Beazley's statement that it cannot be a victory at the
Panathenaea, since the prize on B is a tripod: Webster had said that the tripod
was here a generalized token of victory; all other elements fit the Panathenaea.
CAVI Comments: = 1849.11-22.1. - Δυνεικετυ for Δυννικετο = Δυσνικητου; see Immerwahr (1971),
and Threatte (1980), 260. The same sp. in IG i/2. 1002 corrected to omicron (cf.
Threatte (1980), 239). Δυννικητος: see PA 4580, IG II(2) 1436,13, Hesp. 7 (1938)
281/16, A 31. -Probably not a Panathenaic victory, since tripods were not
awarded there as prizes (Neils); but Kyle (1992), 207 n. 120 says: "possibly in
the Panathenaia ca. 530-525."{4}.
