CAVI Lemma: BF Panathenaic amphora. Three-line Group (Bothmer). Third quarter sixth. Ca.
530 (Grossman–Guy).
CAVI Subject: A: wedding procession of Admetus and Alcestis in a chariot. B: frontal
chariot; at left, woman and youth; at right, woman and boy.
CAVI Inscriptions: A; above the woman at left (Peitho), curving around her head but referring to
Alcestis who is standing in the chariot, hence retr.: Αλκεστες{1}. To right of
Admetus' face: Ασμ^ετος{2}. Above Artemis' head, to right of Apollo's lyre:
Απολ[λ]ον. To right of two of the horses, at some distance from Artemis' back
(she faces left): Αρτεμις. At right are two women and Dionysus with a boy, none
of them inscribed. A has a horse brand: a dotted circle with a dot in the center
[theta?].
CAVI Footnotes: {1} so the text. {2} Apollo's lyre intervenes.
CAVI Comments: The scene is very compact and the painter put the inscriptions where he
could. Letters are clear but very small in the photo.
CAVI Number: 3361
