Drinking cups were used for wine consumption at a symposium, a ceremonious party for Greek males. They are often decorated with symposiac scenes. Here, Satyrs and Maenads in the retinue of the wine god Dionysus dance with abandon as the music plays. Drinking cups from Attica were also exported to Etruria. Eretrian painter. From Vulci, Latium, Italy. Circa 430 BCE. (The Neues Museum, Berlin, Germany).
