Terracotta kylix (drinking cup) Attributed to Makron Period: Classical Date: ca. 480 B.C. Culture: Greek, Attic Medium: Terracotta Dimensions: H. 3 1/2 in. (8.9 cm) diameter 4 13/16 in. (12.2 cm) Classification: Vases Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1907 Accession Number: 07.286.49 Description: Interior, two men reclining and nude youth, labeled Amykos, on the ground In this representation, Makron seems to adapt a symposium scene (drinking party) to a mythological subject. The ship Argo set out form Greece eastward in search of the Golden Fleece. The participating heroes included Jason, Peleus, Meleager, Herakles, and the Dioskuroi—Castor and Pollux. At one point in the journey, King Amykos challenged the Dioskuroi to a boxing match and was defeated. The scene here may depict the two heroes, reclining with phialai (libation bowls) for offerings, and the vanquished Amykos. Text from: www.metmuseum.org/Collections/search-the-collections/1300...

Title: Terracotta mastoid (drinking cup with narrow base) Medium; Technique: Terracotta; black-figure Culture: Greek, Attic Period: Archaic Date: ca. 500 B.C. Dimensions: H. 3 1/4 in. (8.3 cm); diameter 4 1/8 in. (10.5 cm); width with handles 6 1/8 in. (15.6 cm) Classification: Vases Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1941 Accession Number: 41.162.173 Description: Obverse, between eyes, seated youth with branches Reverse, between eyes, nose The mastoid is a variant of the skyphos characterized by the breast-like shape, which provides its name. The eyes on either side reflect a predilection in Attic vase-painting between about 540 and 500 B.C. While their meaning has not been conclusively established, they certainly have to do with the insights afforded by the consumption of wine and its perils. Mastoids are among the vases for drinking imported into Etruria in large numbers. Text from: www.metmuseum.org/Works_of_Art/collection_database/greek_...
