Apulia wine vessel
Produced in Apulia between 400-390 BC and manufactured in Taranto (southern Italy), attributed to the birth of the painter Dionysus, possibly originating from Barry's ceramics. This huge Apulian wine vessel, originally used for mixing wine and water at banquets, seems to have been made for funerals. The scene depicts Hercules being taken to Mount Olympus by Athena's chariot after his death, marking his immortal status as a god. Dionysus was one of the leading figures in the ancient Apulian decorative style, who created intricate compositions on large vases in a rich style. It is currently housed in the Brussels Museum of Art and History in Belgium.
Hidria Ancient Greek Ceramic Container - Paul Getty Museum
Greek for ὑδρία, it is an ancient Greek ceramic container primarily used for storing and transporting water. The characteristic of this ceramic is that it has three handles: two horizontal side handles for lifting the container, and a vertical rear handle for pouring the contents. Around 550 BC, a hidria was produced in the Attica region, depicting scenes of Dionysus, Ariadne, and Poseidon. This artwork is currently housed in the Paul Getty Museum. This ancient Greek ceramic work not only showcases the craftsmanship of the time, but also reflects Greek mythology and religious beliefs.

Dionysus, also known as the Greek god of wine, is one of the twelve main gods of Olympus in ancient Greek mythology. Dionysus was the god of wine believed in by ancient Greeks and Thracians. Not only did he possess the intoxicating power of wine, but he also became a highly charismatic god at the time for his generosity, joy, and love. He promoted the civilization of ancient society, established laws, and maintained world peace.
