Oracle of Delphi Greek Vase
450 B.C.This lovely kylix shows the oracle of Delphi reading the signs and portents for Aegeas. The Oracle went by the name of Pythia, as she was embodiment of the Pythian cult, based on the snake Python, son of Mother Earth. The Oracle would sit on a tripod over a fissure in the earth and bathed in rising vapors, go into a trance from which she could advise and warn. This kylix pictures Pythia peering into her bowl which might have contained leaves floating in a liquid, or sacrificial animal organs. Aegeas (Aegeus) was King of Athens, father of Theseus who went to fight the Minotaur. Prior to conceiving Theseus, Aegeas consulted the Oracle at Delphi on a male heir. She gave him the cryptic advice: " Do not loosen the bulging mouth of the wineskin until you have reached the heights of Athens." Aegeas eventually married and celebrated his honeymoon in a drunken state, from which union Theseus was born.
This Red Figure Oracle of Delphi Greek Kylix Vase is made from terracotta, multicolor finish, and measures 7" W x 3" H. 6449, $159

Pompe Dressing for Dionysian Festival Greek Vase
350 bc. This famous vase is housed in the Metropolitan Museum in New York. It depicts a woman, Pompe, dressing for a Dionysion festival. Pompe represents the spirit of the festival or procession. Her turned head indicates the affection she feels for Dionysos. She is dressing, pulling on her drape and holding two twigs, joined at the top with a round object, possible a jewel. On her head is a delicate crown of myrtle.
The basket is for the procession. The god Dionysos looks on fondly from his throne, probably symbolizing his love for festivals dedicated to him. The flying demi-god Eros ties his sandals, perhaps readying himself to deliver a message of love to festival participants.
The vase has a beautiful tre-foil mouth, and looks like an elegant pitcher for a banquet.
This Red Figure Pompe Dressing for Dionysian Festival Greek Vase is made from terracotta, in a multicolor finish, and measures 10" H. 6450, $354
