- CAVI Collection: London 99.7-21.5.
- CAVI Lemma: RF dinos. From Agrigento. Group of Polygnotos. Third quarter fifth.
- CAVI Subject: Theseus and the Amazons{1}.
- CAVI Inscriptions: To right of one head: [Πε]ριθος. Similarly: Θεσε̣υς. Above the figure:
Α[νδ]ρομα[χε]{2}. To left of an Amazon's horse, retr.: hιππο[λυ](τ)ε{3}. To
right of another hero, retr.: Ακαμας. To left of an Amazon's head: [---]ο̣ε{4}.
Similarly for another: [--]α[---]. Above a fallen Greek: Μεγαρευς{5}. To right
of the rightmost hero's head: Σθε[ν]ε[λος]{6}.
- CAVI Footnotes: {1} Beazley compares Madrid 11,013. {2} so CVA and FR; Bothmer gives the name
as completely extant, probably rightly. {3} so FR; CVA has hιππολ[υτ]ε, Bothmer
has hιππο[λυ]τε. {4} so Reichhold's dr.; the text has [---]ε. {5} FR interprets
this as Μελα[ν]ευς, which is surely wrong; FR says that Melaneus and Sthenelos
are free inventions, but Sthenelos can be an Argive name. {6} so FR; CVA and
Bothmer have Σθε[νελος].
- CAVI Comments: Attic with four-stroke sigma (once). Megareus here as ally of Athens?
