CAVI Lemma: BF amphora. From Vulci. Priam Painter. Early (Beazley). Last quarter sixth.
CAVI Subject: A: Achilles dragging Hector's body; chariot with a charioteer; a winged goddess (Erinys?). In front of the horses, Odysseus and a dog; at the extreme right, the tomb of Patroclus, with a serpent and the shade of Patroclus above. B: Five mounted Amazons with dogs.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: above Hector's corpse: hεκτορ̣. Above Achilles: Αχιλ[λ]ευς̣, retr. To left of the shade's face: Π[α]τροκλος, retr. Above the winged goddess and to left of the driver's head: Κο(ν)ιλ̣ος, retr.{1}. To right of Odysseus' head: Ολ[υ]τ[τ]ευ[ς]. Behind the dog, in BG on white: Θα[.]ρος. retr.{2}. B: the fourth Amazon: Ανδρομαχε. Behind the fifth: χαιρε πο(?){3}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} closer to the the winged goddess and ascribed by CVA to her, which seems unlikely. Probably the name of the charioteer. The third letter looks like a mu, but the short vertical is smeared; CVA also reads a nu. The fifth letter is in a break, with only a low short diagonal to left showing. CVA and I (from the photo) read a sigma, but I rather thought it was part of a lambda, when I saw the vase. Κονιλος is found in Pape; LGPN ii has Κομιλος (4th cent.). {2} CVA wrongly reads: Φα[ιδ]ρος. Surely the name of the dog. The letters are poorly preserved. {3} Beazley (1943b), 102/ii: Walters [in CVA?] read: χαιρεπο ..., but B. points out that the inscription is complete and reads: χαιρε πω, `Hail, drink'. Etym. Magn. has χαιρε και πω τανδε, usually attributed to Alcaeus. Other reff. include two bronze vases from Dodona. B. admits πω is not Attic, but mentions dialect transfers in drinking inscriptions. B. also discusses the (assumed) omission of και.
CAVI Comments: Sloppy writing. Hammond and Moon (AJA 82 (1978) 379, etc.) discuss the relation of the scenes to tragedies.
