The mythology of the Skyphos
The mythical cup is often referred to as the Heracles cup. The god of healing and oracles was assigned special powers. Heracles was a member of Olympus who was described as invulnerable. Whether this was due to the use of his personal cup is unclear. In antiquity, the cup was considered one of the most valuable types of tableware. A skyphos was usually made of clay and decorated with meaningful motifs. The Greek origin of the word skyphos is reflected in the unusual design.
The individual production and processing of the ceramic mug
