Goddess Athena and Poseidon - Dionysus God of Wine Oinochoe Amphora Vase pottery

Description: POSEIDON VS ATHENA - DIONYSUS GOD OF WINE This is a classical theme from Greek Mythology. On the one side you can see Goddess Athena in a contest with God Poseidon about the city of Athens. There once came a time in Ancient Greece when the first king of Athens, Cecrops, who was half person and half snake, had to find a patron deity for the city state of Athens. The two Olympian gods who were particularly interested in the patronage were Poseidon, the god of the Seas and Athena, the goddess of Wisdom and Skill. They presented themselves in front of Cecrops and Cecrops asked from them to offer a gift truly valuable for Athens. Poseidon came first: he struck the earth powerfully and created a well with his trident. Immediately, streaming water shot forth, but the water turned out to be salty and not very useful for the population. Next, it was the turn of goddess Athena. Athena stepped forward, struck her spear into the ground and then she kneeled and planted an olive branch in it. This way she created an olive tree, as a symbolization of peace and prosperity on earth. Cecrops was very impressed by Athena’s gift. So he chose Athena to lay claim of the city of Athens and the city was named after her. On the other side you can see Dionysus the Greek God of wine. The pottery of ancient Greece from c. 1000 to c. 400 BCE provides not only some of the most distinctive vase shapes from antiquity but also some of the oldest and most diverse representations of the cultural beliefs and practices of the ancient Greeks. Please note that sizes may vary a little because everything is Hand Made.(2)Details:Condition: New, Handmade in Greece.Material: CeramicHeight: 26 cm(10 inches) Weight: 700g
