"Terracotta kylix (drinking cup)"
Kylix firmata da Hieron come vasaio, attribuita a Makron. Datata circa. 480 a.C.
Raffigura all’interno un satiro suonatore di flauto e una Menade; all’esterno scena di simposio. L’esterno fornisce un’illustrazione particolarmente completa del simposio e, soprattutto, del suo armamentario: un cratere a colonna inghirlandato per mescolare vino e acqua, un grande skyphos per il sollievo di un simposio malato, un supporto per lampada che può ospitare un mestolo e un colino, krotala (nacchere) e un cestino appeso alla parete di fondo. Rispetto alle figure all’esterno, il satiro e la menade (seguaci del dio del vino, Dioniso) appaiono davvero formali.
