Terracotta column-krater (bowl for mixing wine and water), attributed to Lydos, ca. 550 BCE. MET (ID: 31.11.11) Obverse, Hephaistos on mule among satyrs and maenads Reverse, Dionysos among satyrs and maenads

The symposium, conventionally interpreted as a drinking party, was a well-established feature of Greek—particularly Athenian— society. For over a century, representations on vases document that wine, women, and song were central ingredients. Even more worthy of emphasis, however, is the importance of the symposium as an institution that permitted citizens to gather, to transact business, and—as Plato's dialogue makes clear—to engage in serious discussion. An essential piece of equipment for the symposium was the vase in which the wine was diluted with water and from which it was served. In black-figure vase-painting before the last quarter of the sixth century B.C., the decoration of large, elaborate kraters tended to be mythological. (On red-figure vases, the symposium itself was often depicted.) This krater is of exceptional significance because it is one of the first on which wine, women, and song are presented, albeit in a mythological guise. The subject, which encompasses both sides of the vase, is the return of Hephaistos to Mount Olympos, the home of the gods. Hephaistos, the divine smith, was the son of Hera and Zeus. Because he was born lame, his mother cast him out of Olympos. In revenge, Hephaistos fashioned a throne that held Hera fast when she sat on it. only Hephaistos could release her. Therefore, he was given wine and escorted to Olympos by Dionysos, the god of wine, accompanied by his male and female followers, the satyrs and maenads. (MET)

“Siesta in the Studio on a Summer Afternoon”

My studio is a true reflection of my recurrent obsessions,

everything and everyone is here:

The Phoenicians and the Greeks,

the Celts and the Al-Andalus,

the Menorahs and the keys of Sepharad,

the poets and the books,

Matisse and Picasso,

the plants and the sea,

the desert and the sky,

the Tuscany and the Veneto,

the bulls and the birds,

the vivid dreams and the painted dreams,

both by way of prediction.

Oil sticks, acrylic paint, charcoal and marker on canvas.

80 x 100 cm.

For @loopvis I got to draw Greek myths!!! It just so happened to be that I'm listening to @mythsbaby and endulging in one of my oldest obsessions, crazy epic stories with monsters, heroes and gods. So much fun!!! Kinda wished I had more time to draw it al (better) but also happy with how things turned out in the limited timespan I had. Getting my Medusa on a mirror is one of the coolest things ever. Really hope that the birthdaygirl I decorated the box for will be happy UwU 💖 What's your favorite Greek story and/or character? 🤓 #esthervandebund #drawing #art #artistsoninstagram #greekmythology #medusa #medusapiercing #mirror #mirrorselfie #persues #icarus #hermes #greekvase #decaration #characterdesign #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CMuDFivDO29/?igshid=13xf36i0f9i1g

The urn has to be one of the most defining shapes of Ancient Greece and Rome. This interpretation is made with high quality ceramic porcelain. The bowl and lid have a rich moss green color, and the handles, pedestal base and top finial are cream. Both colors are done in a slightly ‘crackled’ finish.. This urn will add classic beauty to a mantel or table. Manufactured by Global Views. Dimensions: 10.5” High x 11.5” Wide x 8.5” Deep Weight: 4 lbs. #vase #urn #greekurn #romanurn #greekvase #romanvase #vintageurn #vintagevase #decorativevase #decorativeurn #porcelainvase #porcelainurn https://www.instagram.com/p/BnuS_6bnesG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lxqqerjd3htm
