I'm a History of Art student in the UK and I absolutely love your videos! They are very interesting, informative and are in nice accessible portions. Keep up the good work!

What a treat it must have been to drink until his boat appeared - especially if for the first time. I do enjoy the stories associated with many of these ancient works - they're that much more enjoyable to behold once understood.

Greeks usually drank their wine with water, so whoever drank from it might not have been too drunk.

I remember hearing that the stern rudder hadn't been invented yet, but it seems to be right there.

Maybe Exekias was making fun of Homer's 'wine dark sea'?

As a potter with a keen interest in making such cups. The kiln firing is complex, the clay slips even more so, Archaeology does not like people to reproduce such pottery, in accordance with ancient practices, i started my journey in the classics dept at my university,

Very cool.

[@sebolddaniel]

"The wine dark sea" of Homer's Odyssey is sometimes stupidly and deliberately mistranslated as "the purple sea."
