  • CAVI Collection: London E 44.
  • CAVI Lemma: RF cup. From Vulci. Onesimos (P). Euphronios, potter. Early fifth. 500-490. Early (Beazley, Williams).
  • CAVI Subject: Int.: lovers: a woman and an old man{2}. A: Heracles and Eurystheus. B: a chariot (youth, man, Hermes){3}.
  • CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: around the upper part of the tondo, facing in: Παναιτιος ^ καλος{4}. A: on the rim of the pithos, in BG: Ευρυσθευς. To right of E.'s mother's head: καλε. B: to left of the youth's head(5): καλος{6}. To right of the hoplite's face: [κ]αλος. On the underside of one handle, Gr., each word starting at the handle root: Ευφρονιος and εποιεσεν. Under the foot, Gr.: Χ with two hooks on top; see Johnston (1979), 105/20B 3, and 198.
  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} shows part of inscription well: ... αιτιος ^ κα ...). {2} on the subject and recent misunderstandings see CVA, GB 17. The hetaera ties up her zone. {3} perhaps the chariot of Odysseus; see ARV[2]. {4} a basket intervenes. {5} i.e, behind him. {6} Williams has [κ]αλος.
  • CAVI Comments: For the Gr. signature, cf. Malibu 79.AE.17, as discussed in AttScr (1990), 85 n. 17 (no. 515), now superseded by Cohen, who thinks both signatures are written on one handle and are written by Euphronios. Bothmer in Eye: the Gr. signature is incised on the two halves of handle B/A, going from roots to arch, differently from Malibu 79.AE.19.+ Boardman (1986) cites the placement of Eurysteus' name as a parallel for the name `Anakreon' on the lyre of Copenhagen 13,365: in both cases the object is particularly significant (Eurystheus had prepared the pithos for this eventuality; reff.). The signature has some different letter forms from the Dipinti: tailed rho; sigma with sharp corners (typically Euphronian), phi with diagonal hasta. Kunisch thinks the Gr. signature may have been influenced by the practice of Hieron/Makron [rather than the opposite, as Bothmer I think suggested.]
