Red-Figure Pelike (about 450-440 BC) This pelike is a wine vessel appropriately decorated with a scene from the myth of Dionysos, god of wine. On the front of the vase, the messenger god, Hermes-wearing a traveler's cloak, winged hat and shoes-entrusts the baby Dionysos to Ino, who will become his nurse. Two nymphs are depicted on the other side of the vase.Page 7 of 7 | On the next page: Daedalic Lamp with Human Head (about 610-600 BC) |
