Flattened image from an Attic red-figured column krater depicting Komos, the ritual procession connected with the worship of Dionysus, the god of wine, but also with private activities such as the symposium after a banquet, during which the participants would abandon themselves to drunkeness, wildness and revelry to the sound of the flute, aulos, and the kithara and accompanied by chanting. Komos was the god of revelry, merrymaking and festivity. He was the son and cup-bearer of the god Dionysos. Komos was depicted as either a winged youth or a satyriskos, child satyr, with balding pate and asses ears. This krater is an exhibit at the Archaeological Museum in Palermo, Sicily. Agrigento painter 480 - 460BC. | |
