Uncorked: Drinking with Dionysus

What was a bar crawl in ancient Greece and its environs like? Well, there was certainly a lot of variety. There was wine, of course, but wine and mead too. Whether you gathered at a symposium or a kapileion or drank you wine in a kylix or kantharos or you went all-out by drinking out of rhyton, the games and hi-jinks were always over the top. Then, when amends needed to be made, there was always the possibility of repentance through libations. A liberal pour of history and archaeology takes you on a liquid cruise through the Greek world.
