  • AVI Record Number: 3568
  • CAVI Collection: Florence 3985.+
  • CAVI Lemma: RF pelike. Berlin Painter. First quarter fifth. 500-490. Very early (ARV[2]).
  • CAVI Subject: A: Theseus and the Minotaur. B: Theseus and Skiron.
  • CAVI Inscriptions: A: to right of Theseus' middle: Θεσευς. B: To left of Theseus' back: (ε)υ γε. To right of his head: καλλιστος.
  • CAVI Footnotes: {1} so in the text of CVA. {2} so my reading from the photo in CVA, but in another photo I saw only a regular dotted theta.
  • CAVI Comments: + [Amsterdam?], Once Hague, Scheurleer Collection: neck. Beazley in ARV[2], following M. Robertson (1950), attributes the vase to the very early Berlin Painter, but others had attributed it to Euthymides or the Kleophrades Painter and ARV[1] had given it to a "Vienna Painter." - The epsilon of ευ γε is a clear nu and the inscription has been read νυ[ν] γε by D. Levi (see AttScr (1990), 82 and n. 11), but I think the nu is a copying error for epsilon (AttScr (1990), 173). Furtwängler saw καλε instead of καλλιστος on B; see FR ii, 80-81. - The letter forms are somewhat idiosyncratic: alpha with horizontal cross bar? Gamma = a vertical half-arrow{1}. Theta perhaps with diagonal cross stroke{2}. Upsilon with one hasta curved.
