Terracotta kylix (drinking cup) ca. 480 B.C. Signed by Hieron Interior, flute-playing satyr and maenadExterior, obverse and reverse, symposiumThe exterior provides a particularly full illustration of the symposium (drinking party) and, especially, of its paraphernalia: a wreathed column-krater for mixing wine and water, a large skyphos for the relief of a sick symposiast, a lamp stand that also accommodates a ladle and strainer, and krotala (castanets) and a picnic basket suspended from the back wall.
