CAVI Comments: = Athens, N.M. 15,155. For various restorations see Graef�Langlotz. ABV gives
the signature as ... κα[ποιεσεν]. The preliminary sketch is well preserved for
Nεαρχοςμε-. The second part may have been dedicatory. - Chaitos and Euthoias
are horse's names. E. Simon (1981: 80) suggests the horse names Charitos [sic]
and Euthoias are borrowed by the painter from names of famous race horses; the
chariot race became a staple of the Panathenaea at this time. The two horse
names are not Homeric, but the painter shows knowledge of Homer by including the
third horse (which in Homer was mortal), Pedasos. [I wonder whether Π[-] is to
be read Π[εδασος]?].
