CAVI Collection: London E 65.
CAVI Lemma: RF cup. From Capua{1}. Brygos Painter. Brygos, potter. First quarter fifth. 490-480. 485-480 (Williams).
CAVI Subject: Int.: Chrysippos served with wine by Zeuxo. A-B: Hera and Iris attacked by satyrs.
CAVI Inscriptions: Int.: to right of Chrysippos' mouth: Χρυσιππος. Behind the woman's head along the margin: Ζευχσο. A: Above a crouching satyr: Τερπον. To right of a satyr's mouth: Βαβακχος. Similar: hυδ(ρ)ις{2}. Similar: Στυον. Similar: hερμες, retr. Similar: hερα, retr. Similar: hερακλες, retr. (The last three persons face left). B: Similar: Δρομις. Similar: Διονυσος. Similar: Εχον. To right of Iris' middle: Ιριν. Behind a satyr's head: Λεφσις{3}. - On the reserved foot profile, in BG: Βρυγος and εποιεσεν.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} on the Brygos tomb, see Beazley (1945), 156-58, and Williams (1992a). Found with London E 140. {2} the rho written over another letter, perhaps iota. C. Fränkel suggests miswritten for hυβρις. Williams says that the first letter is cramped and may be miswritten for kappa. [Κυδρις, which W. translates as `lusty', is not in Pape, but names in Κυδρο- are.] The photo in CVA, pl. 63,a, seems to show a miswritten letter having three vertical strokes. {3} C. Smith wrongly read Nεφσις.
CAVI Comments: The phiale held by Chrysippos is gilded. Iris' name is in the accusative; it depends on the verbs implicit in the satyr names, Echon and Lepsis. The signature is in large letters widely and evenly spaced: Brygos is on one side and epoiesen directly opposite, filling exactly one half of the circle; there is one letter space between the words on either side. Williams in CVA notes that the name is under side A and the verb under side B. For the separation of name and verb W. compares London E 44 (on a handle); perhaps the Getty Iliupersis cup [Malibu 83.AE.362.+]; and New York 1981.11.9 (Euthymides). FR thinks Chrysippos and Zeuchso are names of heroes (but Robertson does not; LGPN ii lists them as historical names); the picture resembles those on votive tablets, cf. the votive marble plaque, Furtwängler (1883–7), i, 37 and n. 4. Simon (1982) discusses the Ext., which she thinks is from a satyr play (as did FR), perhaps `Iris,' perhaps by Pratinas; see also FR and Cambitoglou; Beazley (1910), 57; Haspels (1936), 20; A. Kossatz-Deissmann, LIMC iv, 696-97 (Hera) and v, 751-52 (Iris); Williams (1992a), who says that Hera has sent Iris to a sanctuary of Dionysus to stop the sacrifice, but the satyrs have caught her and other satyrs threaten Hera herself, but the imminent arrival of Heracles will probably save her. Simon links the satyr names on B with names of dogs. Attic alphabet, but sigma mainly four-stroke. Dotted delta. Tailed rho in the signature only.
