- CAVI Lemma: RF calyx krater. Nekyia Painter. Third quarter fifth.
- CAVI Subject: Upper zone: A-B: Heracles with Theseus and Perithous in Hades. Above the
handles: {1} a youth and a woman clasping hands. {2} a man greeting a youth; a
heap of branches. Lower zone: A: Apollo and Tityos. B: Zeus and a giant(?).
- CAVI Inscriptions: Upper zone: A: above Hades' head: Αιδες{1}. Above the head of the seated
Perithous: Περιθος. Above the seated Theseus' head: Θεσευς. Above Heracles'
head: hερ(α)κλες{2}. To right of Hermes' helmet (he faces left): hερμες. Above
the head of Meleager (in front view): Μελεαγρος. B: above the bearded Elpenor's
head: Ελπενορ. Above Ajax' head: Αιας. Palamedes leans against a column in
misery; above his head: Ταλαμεδες{3}. Persephone seated on a throne before a
column: above her head and mostly to left: Περρεφαττ(α){2}. Lower zone: A:
Artemis aiming her spear; to right of her forehead: (Α)ρτεμις{2}. Apollo aiming
an arrow; similar: (Α)πολλον{2}. To right of Leto's forehead: Λετο. Above
Tityos' head: Τιτυος. B: not inscribed. Under the foot, Gr.: Δ ΙΙΙ{4}.
- CAVI Footnotes: {1} note the absence of heta; is it `etymological'? {2} alpha lacks the cross
stroke. {3} R-H 169 n. 6: "Τ for Π either by mistake or intentionally to suggest
that Palamedes' wisdom brought him sorrow." {4} `arrow delta'.
- CAVI Comments: The writing on B appears less careful than that on A; note that A has
vertical lambda and B lambda leaning back. Attic alphabet.
