CAVI Collection: Paris, Louvre G 103.
CAVI Lemma: RF calyx krater. From Cerveteri. Euphronios. Last quarter sixth. 510-500.
CAVI Subject: A: Heracles and Antaeus, with three women fleeing. B: a musical contest: a boy flute player mounting a bema; at left a seated boy, at right two others.
CAVI Inscriptions: A: below the wrestlers: hερακλες. Α[ν]ταιος, retr.{1}. To right of the left girl's face: Ευφρονιος εγραφσεν{2}. B: to right of the head of the boy at left: Λεαγρος, and below: καλος{3}. To right of the flautist's head: Πολυκλες. By the boy seated to right of the podium: hυ[λ]ας (Giroux). To right of the head of the boy at far right: [Κ]εφισοδορος, retr. Along the upper edge of the bema, in BG: Μ̣[ε]λας κα(λ)ος{4}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} so `Euphr.' {2} the letters are slightly separated before the verb and before and after φσ. {3} the Leagros kalos is written as pertaining to the left boy. {4} Beazley says that Melas is the flute player, but see now Shapiro, above. The BG inscription is sloppier than the others. `Euphr.' now reads [--]ας καλος and suggests either Melas or [hυλ]ας.
CAVI Comments: Shapiro: the name of the flautist mounting the bema is Polykles who used to be thought of as the first seated youth on the right, but Giroux discovered an inscription hυ[λ]ας for him. (Giroux found that all figures are inscribed.) Polykles occurs as the name of a citharode mounting a platform on a BF oinochoe, Villa Giulia 20,839 + 20,843, ABV 673, contemporary with Euphronios (unpublished: see Shapiro n. 210). The three listeners are thus: Leagros (tag-kalos), Hylas and Kephisodoros. Shapiro reads the inscription on the bema as Melas kalos, praising another member of the elite circle who is not present. Melas appears on Munich 8935 (AA 1976, 506) as a young symposiast and on Malibu 83.AE.53 (Smikros psykter: Frel (1983), 147-50) as a young athlete. Shapiro thus rejects (in n. 213) Giroux's suggestion of reading the inscription on the stone as Hylas, a duplication, and prefers the old reading Melas. He thinks Polykles may have been a Panathenaic victor, although the occasions where he appears on vases are private.
