Specifically, this poem describes a drinking party where Greek men from the upper-classes would gather to dine, listen to music – and of course, play rowdy drinking games. The outer rim of this kylix – a type of wide cup made for drinking wine – shows the gods impossibly balancing large Persian-style bowls on their fingertips 🍇 ✨For more wisdom from the Ancient Greeks – and to see this beautiful kylix alongside many more exquisite drinking vessels – visit our #LuxuryAndPowerExhibition, open until 13 August. 🔗 Find out more and book your tickets via the link in our bio. 📜 Poem from the Greek poet Eubulus (active around 380-355 BC), as quoted by the writer Athenaeus (active 200 AD). 🔎 Kylix with scene of a symposion.
