L. D. Caskey, J. D. Beazley, Attic Vase Paintings in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

• C. 7. Athens, Agora, Athens, Agora P 16820, fr. (Male legs, stick, dog.) Recalls somewhat the earliest style of Douris.
• C. 8. Louvre CA 3121, fr. (Feet of a nude figure, and on the left a seat with a garment on it.) There must have been few figures, which points to the psykter being of type B. Here also I thought for a moment of early Douris.

• C. 9. Athens, Ceramicus, from Athens. Mentioned by Vanderpool in Hesp. 15 p. 322.
• C. 10. Athens, frr.
• C. 11. Agrigento, Giudice.

Vanderpool mentions several fragments of black psykters from the Agora (Hesp. 15 p. 322).¹

A unique vase in Rhodes, earlier than all these, about the middle of the sixth century, has been described as a psykter: it is a kind of small black-figure amphora (type C), very fat, with a cylindrical base which approximates to the stem of our psykters, and on the other hand recalls the lower part of the oinochoe by Taleides in Berlin (Berlin inv. 31131: Gerhard AV. pl. 316, 2-3, whence WV. 1889 pl. 4, 5, whence Hoppin Bf. p. 343). It is not clear that the vase served the same purpose as our psykters; and in any case the shape is so different that it must be kept apart from them:

• Rhodes 12200, from Camiros. Cl. Rh. 4 p. 75; CV. pl. 19, 1-2. A, komos (see ii p. 60). B, two naked boys before a seated youth. Manner of Lydos.

68. 98.878 HYDRIA (of black-figure shape) PLATE XXXIII

The shape, Caskey G. p. 109. Acquired from Hartwig. Present height (the foot is modern) 0.53; diameter 0.325. Warrior leaving home (youth and woman). Between the two heads, ΛΥΚ[Ο]Σ; lower, downwards, ΚΑ[Λ]Ο[Σ] (ARV. p. 932, foot). About 500-490 B.C.

The hydria is of the old type commonly used by black-figure painters, with the neck marked sharply off from the shoulder and the shoulder from the body; as opposed to the kalpis-hydria, which came in about 520 and by 480 had almost driven the other out. In detail, our vase is less old-fashioned than the Boston hydria Boston 13.200 (no. 69). It is slenderer; the body curves less rapidly downwards; the neck does not flare; the back-handle is higher; and there is a distinct incurve at the base. A very rare feature is the lipped mouth; it never occurs in black-figured hydriai, and the only other red-figured hydriai of this type that have it are London E 162 and Madrid 11117 (see below).² The foot is missing and is restored as a double ogee: incorrectly according to Caskey (G. p. 108), 'the type of foot found in kalpides having been used in place of the simple disc proper to hydriai of the black-figure type', and in his drawing he supplied a torus foot. It should be said, however, that although the simple foot is proper to the type, most of the late archaic red-figure examples have a double-ogee foot: such are the following:

• Aberdeen 695. JHS. 70 pp. 29 and 31. Early Berlin Painter (ARV. p. 140 no. 127).
• London E 162. CV. pl. 70, 3; JHS 70 p. 27 fig. 5. Early Berlin Painter, same style as the last (ARV. p. 140 no. 128).
• Vatican. Mus. Greg. ii pl. 15, 1; Berl. pll. 25-6. By the Berlin Painter (ARV. p. 140 no. 129).
• Madrid 11117. CV. pl. 13, 1. By the Berlin Painter (ARV. p. 140 no. 130).
• Paris, Cab. Méd. 439. Phot. Giraudon 8075, whence Cook Zeus ii p. 26. By the Berlin Painter, middle or late (ARV. p. 140 no. 131).
• London E 163. CV. pl. 70, 4. By the Copenhagen Painter (ARV. p. 194 no. 17).
• London E 161. CV. pl. 71, 1. By the Syriskos Painter (ARV. p. 196 no. 20).
