Museum.
On a large number of vases with red figures, and on a somewhat smaller
number with black figures, certain names (which generally have no reference to
the design) are inscribed with the attributive kcCKos attached ; this formula, with
occasional slight variations, is painted usually in some portion of the design
before the firing. A few specimens occur in which it is painted on the foot
of a vase with no figure design ('E<£. 'Ap^. 1894, p. 124, note 1). As to the
exact significance of this usage, which is not confined to vases, considerable
discussion has arisen.* By the help of the koXos names, large numbers of vases,
both signed and unsigned, can be classified and arranged ; and it is clear that
if we could identify these names with historical personages, the chronological
difficulties in the study of vases would be largely removed. But even if we
assume this identification, a further question would still arise :, to what period
of the person's life are we to attribute his appearance as icaXos ? Hartwig, the
latest writer on this subject, noting the concurrent formula 6 7r<xZ? koXos, limits
the application to iralSes, and the mention of any one youth, consequently, to
a period not exceeding ten years. The custom of writing up such inscriptions
in public places is mentioned in Greek literature, and there is nothing there, or
on the vases, which need prevent us from accepting this position : probably most
of these names had reference to the jeunesse dorfa of Athens, whose occupations
in the gymnasium, at the wine party, or in the kerameikos itself, are so often
