  • CAVI Collection: Basel, Cahn 919.
  • CAVI Lemma: Frs. of BF hydria. Archippe Group (related to Tyrrhenian Group){1}. Third quarter sixth. Ca. 550 (Boardman).
  • CAVI Subject: Body: Heracles reclining to right; Athena seated to left; Iolaus standing to left. On a separate fr., a figure with a staff, variously interpreted as a man or a woman (see Wolf, p. 13 n. 45). Predella: animals (?).
  • CAVI Inscriptions: Body: to left of Athena, starting from her neck, in a slight curve: Α(θ)εναια, retr. The theta lacks the dot. To left of Iolaus' face, curving diagonally downward: Ιολεος, retr. Is there a trace of an inscription for Heracles in the ph.? I do not know if the ph. is complete. The description in Wolf, p. 13, seems to mention inscriptions only for Athena and Iolaus. Possibly Αλ̣[κμενε](?).
  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} so Bea. Arch, by unknown.
  • CAVI Comments: This is presumably the same vase as Shapiro (1989), 160, pl. 72,a; Boardman (1984), 22, fig. 1.
