Bell-Krater with Dionysos
The bowl where Greek wine met its water.
What
A red-figure bell-krater painted in Apulia, in southern Italy, with the bust of Dionysos, made for mixing wine with water at the symposium.
Why
The Greeks rarely drank their wine neat; the krater stood at the centre of the room, and the god looked out from it.
Notice
The god’s face, ringed by the black glaze.
“Every toast since begins here.”
