Framed Print of Attic Red-Figure Footed Dinos, about 470 BC. Creator: Syleus Painter
Attic Red-Figure Footed Dinos, about 470 BC. Mixing Vessel with Triptolemos.
Additional Info: Made in Athens in the red-figure technique, this vase depicts the departure of Triptolemos, who sits in his winged chariot ready to fly away to teach the secrets of agriculture to mortals. Triptolemos, a mortal himself, was connected with the cult of Demeter, the goddess of fertility, and with the Eleusinian Mysteries, which promised a rewarding afterlife to initiates in the goddess's cult. On this vase gods, goddesses, and personifications connected with the cult, including Demeter, Kore (also known as Persephone and here named as Pherephata), and Hades (here named as Theos, the god') surround Triptolemos. This type of vase is called a dinos or mixing bowl. The Greeks drank their wine mixed with water, and a mixing vessel would be used at a symposium or drinking party to prepare and serve the diluted wine. The foot or base of this dinos is unusual; dinoi usually had rounded bottoms and were set into a separately formed stand.
