Lekythion[edit]

a small painted pottery vessel (lekythion) used as an oil flask

  • ... that the lekythion, a metric pattern in Greek poetry, was named after a joke involving people losing their little oil flasks?

  • very interesting. AGF all refs as they are either offline or in Greek. Strongly suggest this be placed either: 1) as lead with photo as we get very few quality photos of ancient Greek pottery or as 2) in the quirky (last) slot. PumpkinSky talk 22:11, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
