Title: Attic Red-Figure Oinochoe, Shape 3 (Chous) Artist/Maker: Attributed to Oionokles Painter (Greek (Attic), active about 470 B.C.) Culture: Greek (Attic) Place: Athens, Greece (Place Created) Date: about 470 B.C. Medium Terracotta Object Number: 86.AE.237 Dimensions: 23 × 18.6 cm (9 1/16 × 7 5/16 in.) Alternate Titles: Wine Jug with a Drinker and His Slave (Display Title) Boy Serving a Reveler (Published Title) Previous Attribution: Oionokles Painter (Greek (Attic), active about 470 B.C.) Department: Antiquities Classification: Vessels Object Type: Chous With his head tilted back, his mouth open as if singing, and his arms thrown out in a dramatic gesture, the man on this vase shows the effects of a long night of drinking. Luckily, a servant-boy is there, anticipating his master's needs. The boy stands patiently carrying his master's belongings--a walking stick and a basket covered with a cloth--and holds out a vessel for him to urinate into. The jug he offers is a chous, a special form of oinochoe (wine-pitcher), and it is the very same shape as the vase on which this scene is depicted. Reinforcing the connection, another chous stands at the far right of the scene, garlanded with ivy. Shape and decoration are, therefore, neatly tied on this vase. The chous was used during the Anthesteria, a three-day religious festival in honor of Dionysos, the god of wine. A drinking contest was held on the second day of the festival, and these jugs were used to hold a standard amount of wine for the contest.

Title: Attic Red-Figure Oinochoe (Shape III, Chous) Artist/Maker: Attributed to Group of Boston 10.190 Culture: Greek (Attic) Place: Athens, Greece (Place created) Date: about 420 B.C. Medium: Terracotta Object Number: 96.AE.28 Dimensions: 17.3 cm (6 13/16 in.) Alternate Titles: Red-figured chous (Display Title) Pitcher with Knucklebone Players (Display Title) Boys Playing Knucklebones (Published Title) Previous Attributions: Group of Boston 10.190 Painter of Boston 10.190 (Greek (Attic), active 440 - 430 B.C.) Object Type: Chous Three boys wearing leafy crowns play knucklebones on this Athenian red-figure oinochoe or jug. This special form of oinochoe, called a chous, was used during the Anthesteria, a three-day festival in honor of Dionysos, the god of wine. On the first day of the festival, the new wine was opened; a drinking contest on the second day used these jugs to hold a standard amount of wine. The scenes depicted on the choes often portray the revelry of the festival and the activities of children. The prevalent role of children in the decoration of choes presumably reflects the importance of the festival to children. On the second day of the festival, in addition to the drinking contest, three-year-old boys were formally accepted into their fathers' kinship groups, becoming part of the community.
