CAVI Collection: Cleveland 66.114.
CAVI Lemma: WG lekythos. From Italy. Douris. First quarter fifth. 500-490 (Kozloff){1}.
CAVI Subject: Atalante running, with a wreath in her right hand, while looking back; at left, two flying Erotes with tendrils, the one closer to A also carrying a wreath. At right, Eros, flying, with tendrils.
CAVI Inscriptions: Above above the head of the left Eros in front: Ερος. Above the head of the Eros in the rear: Ερος. To upper right of Atalanta's head: Αταλαντε. To left of the right Eros' chest: Ε{ι}ρος, retr.{2}.
CAVI Footnotes: {1} Transitional I (Rich) (B.-O.). {2} B.-O., Douris gives Επος, probably for this form.
CAVI Comments: Beazley compares the WG lekythos by Douris, Palermo NI 1886; Kozloff compares another WG lekythos by Douris, now Malibu 84.AE,770 (cf. AttScr (1990), 85). The last is very early, the others are said to be early middle; all are inscribed in Douris' early style. See also B.-O. in note 1, below. Robertson (1992), 86 thinks all three lekythoi very early and that is probably right. - Brommer thought the inscriptions not genuine: Atalanta pursued by 4 Erotes is unique, as is also the repetition of the word Eros. He suggested the original inscription might have been Aphrodite. Boulter replied in AJA that ultra-violet examination did not show restoration in the name [there is repainting in the tendrils and wreaths.]
