- - That one is a traveller’s hat, I think, to indicate that he has
just arrived on the scene. No doubt someone can tell you (& me) why I think
it’s characteristic of travellers.
or in the Cup by Sotades Painter (Boardmann Athenian Red Figure Vases.
Classical Period, n° 103).
- - There’s a wide variety of interpretations of this vase — again, I
hope someone else can supply the details: Martin Robertson, The Art of
Vase-painting in classical Athens 186-7, who cites Lucilla Burn, Antike
Kunst 28 (1985) 93-105; see also Alan Griffiths JHS, some years ago ...; H.
Hoffmann, Sotades (1996?); and ????? —- but the main thing is that it may
not be Kadmos. Or perhaps I should say it is probably NOT Kadmos.
And besides, it’s a totally different kind of hat!
