Column Krater: Komos
A Greek mixing bowl painted with the night’s worst moment.
What
A red-figure krater for mixing wine and water: a bearded reveller with a staff and cup leans forward and vomits, a boy with a lyre beside him.
Why
Made in Athens around 470 to 460 BC; the Cleveland Museum of Art holds it (1924.197). The name SIMONOS scratched on the neck probably names its owner.
Notice
The boy holds a tortoiseshell lyre: the music went on.
“The Greeks painted the cost of the party onto the bowl that served it.”
