  • CAVI Comments: = Louvre F 384 bis, according to Haspels. Haspels has good readings. The story of yoking a lion and a boar to the chariot belongs properly to the story of Admetus; see Schauenburg and Shapiro. The same scene is found on a BF oinochoe in Göttingen, inv. 23,5. Para. 185/23(7) (not inscribed).
