What a treat it must have been to drink until his boat appeared - especially if for the first time. I do enjoy the stories associated with many of these ancient works - they're that much more enjoyable to behold once understood.

Greeks usually drank their wine with water, so whoever drank from it might not have been too drunk.

As a potter with a keen interest in making such cups. The kiln firing is complex, the clay slips even more so, Archaeology does not like people to reproduce such pottery, in accordance with ancient practices, i started my journey in the classics dept at my university,

[sebolddaniel]

"The wine dark sea" of Homer's Odyssey is sometimes stupidly and deliberately mistranslated as "the purple sea."
