The Kyathos, a dipper and drinking vessel at once, is a dishwith the handle elongated vertically and sometimes replaced by astraight handle, which gives the vessel somewhat of the appearence ofa spoon (figs. 8, 9, 10). The Skyphos is a dish with two horizontal handles (figs. 11);the Kothon (fig. 12), is the military drinking vessel, a vessel witha broad rim bent inwards, out of which one could only drinkby bending the neck right back; but it was convenient for dippingwater from brooks, and the in-curved rim caught the impurities ofthe water so that they remained behind both in dipping and drinking,(Semper). We might further adduce the Deinos, the drinking vessel ofHercules, the amphikypellon, a double beaker mentioned by Homer,the Kalathos, and others. But the examples selected above maysuffice.
