  • CAVI Collection: Ferrara, Museo Nazionale di Spina 2890.
  • CAVI Lemma: RF calyx krater. From Spina. Achilles Painter. Third quarter fifth.
  • CAVI Subject: A-B: (continuous:) Theseus and the Amazons: A: Perithoos to right, stabbing Andromache; Pyrgomache, collapsed; Theseus to right, fighting Antiope (who is over the right handle). B: tree to right of Antiope; Greek to right, fighting Amazon on horseback; Greek to right attacks Eumache (who is on A, on the other side of the handle).
  • CAVI Inscriptions: Ευμαχη. Περιθος. Ανδρομαχη{1}. Πυ[ρ]γομαχη, retr. Θεσευς{2}. Αντιοπεια. [Αξιοπ]ειθης | καλ[ος]{3}.
  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} Bothmer; missed by Aurigemma and Arias. {2} Θησευς, Bothmer, but see AttScr (1990), 109 n. 4. {3} καλ[ο]ς, Bothmer. My readings mostly after Aurigemma. But Oakley also reads Θησευς.
  • CAVI Comments: = VT T 1052. The surface is in poor condition; the phs. do not show the inscriptions. Ionic alphabet (except perhaps Θεσευς). Mended in antiquity. The scene probably inspired by a wall painting (see Oakley 50 n. 169) [note that the scene ignores the handle divisions between A and B]. Oakley prints Ionic letters except for three-stoke sigma in καλ[ο]ς, which he mentions on p. 11. According to Oakley 10 the inscriptions are incised; so does Denoyelle; I had not noticed it.
