Wine Intoxication
Attic kylix painted by Douris. On the central internal tondo, a bearded symposiast on a kline – who has drunk to excess and is about to regurgitate into the basin held below – is assisted by a young woman, dressed in a transparent and densely pleated chiton, possibly one of the refined courtesans (etere) who participated in symposia in ancient Greece.
A symposium's scene is portrayed in the cup external surface.
