## Image Caption

A kylix is a [Greek](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/greek/) wine drinking-cup which was primarily used at a drinking party ([symposium](https://www.worldhistory.org/Symposium/)). In this balanced design, the Triptolemos painter (an ancient Greek vase painter) creatively separated the crumpled figure of the defeated Persian from his Greek opponent with the device of a shield. Greek Attic, [Greece](https://www.worldhistory.org/greece/), circa 460 BCE. (National Museum of [Scotland](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Scotland/), Edinburgh, UK)
