- CAVI Collection: Schwerin 708.
- CAVI Lemma: RF skyphos. From Cerveteri. Pistoxenos Painter. Pistoxenos, potter. Second
quarter fifth. 470-460.
- CAVI Subject: Heracles and Linos: A: Linos and Iphicles. B: Heracles and Geropso.
- CAVI Inscriptions: A: above Linos' head: Λι(ν)ος{1}. Starting to left of Iphicles' forehead:
Ιφικλε[ς], retr. On the right side of the scene, below the margin, non-stoich.
two-liner: Πιστ̣οχσενος | εποιεσεν{2}. B: to right of (behind) Heracles' head:
hερακ[λες]. Behind the old woman's head: Γερο̣φσο{3}.
- CAVI Footnotes: {1} the nu consists of two parallel strokes. {2} Beazley gives all letters of
the name as extant. {3} cf. Threatte (1996), 263.
- CAVI Comments: For the identity of Pistoxenos with Syriskos and the Syriskos Painter, see
Robertson (1992), 135ff. Geropso has tatoos, hence she is a Thracian slave.
(Contemporary life incorporated into a mythical scene, Robertson). Or old-age
wrinkles? Three- and four-stroke sigma.
