(4) Kydias of Hermione (a lyric poet: cf. Schol. _in_ Ar. _Nub._ 967)
and Nikarchos (a contemporary flute-player) are to be seen,
according to Jahn (_op. cit._ p. 740) on a psykter in the British
Museum (E 767), on which these names are inscribed over two
revellers; but the identification is exceedingly doubtful. See also
Munich 1096 = Jahn, _op. cit._ pl. 4, fig. 1.
III. Mention should also here be made of the names of historical renown
which often appear on R.F. vases with the word καλός (see Vol. I. p.
403, and below, p. 267), such as Alkibiades, Glaukon, Hipparchos,
Kleinias, Leagros, Megakles, and Miltiades. The question is dealt with
elsewhere, and it has been shown that only in one or two cases—_e.g._
Leagros, Glaukon, and Kleinias (the father of Alkibiades)—can an
identification with the historical personages be certainly maintained;
it is, however, of sufficient interest for reference in this chapter,
because the inscribed names may in some cases possibly refer to the
figures depicted on the vases.[1533]
