  • CAVI Lemma: RF cup. Calliope Painter{1}. Third quarter fifth.
  • CAVI Subject: Int.: the Muse Calliope with phiale and oinochoe and a youth with a lyre. A: the Muse Calliope giving a lyre to a youth; the Muse Ourania with phiale and oinochoe and a wreathed youth with a lyre. B: the youth Musaeus with a Muse with phiale and oinochoe; a youth receiving a lyre from a Muse. All youths are wreathed, mostly with laurel. I think some of the youths are being presented with lyres by Muses.
  • CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: ...{2}. A: Ουρανι̣α̣. Above the heads of Kalliope and Apollo, following the curve of the margin and well centered above the heads: Καλλιοπε. The youths are not named. B: at left, a youth and a Muse with oinochoe and phiale. At right, Musaeus receiving a lyre from a Muse. To left and right of the right youth's head: κα^λος. In the same position for Musaeus: Μο^σαι^[ο]ς{3}.
