Symposium Scene by “The Kleophon Painter” - II

            The detail points out the double essence of the symposium: the intellectual entertainment and the pleasure of ludic activities.
Some symposiasts are engaged in philosophical discussions or in poetry or musical (singing) activities; others are concerned with a competitive widespread drinking game named “kottabos”. The object of the play was to cast a portion of wine left in the drinking cup towards a target. The thrower, in the ordinary form of the game, was expected to retain the recumbent position that was usual at table, and, in flinging the kottabus, to make use of his right hand only.
