Blue Fish Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Oh simple Dinos how can you compare, to the tall slender Lekythos? Which once the grave is dug stands there but then, without you Dinos we won't have the High Handled Kantharos. The sweet wine you hold, Round Dinos on you stand The Oinochoe, it has been said, watered it which has only the one handle for the hand Well, I suppose the Panathenaic Amphora won't fit. The Alabastron may have held the perfume but you Aryballo oil for Athletes hold We'll need to use the Hydria for water collection soon For the Loutrophoros the bridal bathwater to hold For you, Gods, we have the Phiale To pour the wine from, taken from a Bell Krater So with not from our side you'll rally But remember a Bell Kraters different from a Volute Krater Same as a trinket box Pyxis Is different from the two handled Kylix Cups I really like the Simple Skyphos though, whose purpose is to enable wine drinking before everyone sups. Calyx Kraters hold the mixed wine in style Though the Volute Kraters got no rivals for beauty And for Olive oil Hydria Calpis go the mile And the Amphora also suits thee To stop all thieves the Lidded neck Amphora’s, though boring For Olive oil is so widely needed, Oh Pelike I almost forgot! Your great when used for storing! So now you should know Greek Vases if the use is ever heeded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
