A satyr plays the double reed instrument known as an aulos to entertain Dionysus, who is crowned with ivy and holds his characteristic thyrsus (staff topped with a pinecone). Interior of an Attic red-figure kylix (drinking cup) by the potter Hieron and the painter Makron; 480s BCE. Found at Vulci, Italy; now in the Altes Museum, Berlin.

It's Greece, bay-bee... everybody gotta have PENIS!

a side view of a kylix, a terracotta drinking cup for wine.

I fell down a rabbit hole of the different ways red-figure Greek vase-painters depicted wings on creatures.

Stemmed Kylix with Cuttlefish

Greek, Mycenaean, 14th century BCE (Late Helladic IIIA2)

Popular shapes in their own time, such stemmed cups were commonly ornamented with marine motifs, cuttlefish in particular. Originally introduced to the mainland through preceding Minoan styles, this aquatic décor demonstrates a resurgence of Minoan cultural influence. The expertly duplicated and symmetrical application of the motif, however, remains quintessentially Mycenaean.

Kylix attr. Foundry Painter c. 490-480 terracotta D 30.5 cm

Berlin, Antikensammlung F2294

This image indicates metalworking (bronze) artisans creating things. Tools are along the walls as well as a shrine to Hephaestus and possibly Athena. Work shrines typically do not survive so this depiction of it in the metalworking shop is quite fascinating!

I can’t believe, literally cannot believe that I stood in the same room with this kylix. It’s Apollo playing a lyre while a crow watches and probably everyone of you has seen photos of it. It’s cracked in a few places but otherwise beautifully intact and well-preserved. The fine painted lines are so crisp and the colors are rich and bright. Zoom in and look at the sandals and legs of the stool. I only made it to the museum today; there was a lot to see, so tomorrow I’ll visit the archeological site and get to see where the Pythia sat.
