The ornate and precious <i>rhyta</i> of the great civilizations of earlier times are grandiose rather than ribald, which gives the democratic vase paintings an extra satirical dimension. </p><p>The connection of satyrs with wine and <i>rhyta</i> is made in <a href="/wiki/Nonnus" title="Nonnus">Nonnus</a>'s epic <i>Dionysiaca.</i> He describes the <a href="/wiki/Satyr" title="Satyr">satyrs</a> at the first trampling of the grapes during the invention of wine-making by <a href="/wiki/Dionysus" title="Dionysus">Dionysos</a>: </p> <dl><dd>...the fruit bubbled out red juice with white foam. They scooped it up with oxhorns, instead of cups which had not yet been seen, so that ever after the cup of mixed wine took this divine name of 'Winehorn'.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></dd></dl> <p><a href="/wiki/K%C3%A1roly_Ker%C3%A9nyi" title="Károly Kerényi">Károly Kerényi</a>, in quoting this passage,<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> remarks, "At the core of this richly elaborated myth, in which the poet even recalls the <i>rhyta</i>, it is not easy to separate the Cretan elements from those originating in <a href="/wiki/Anatolia" title="Anatolia">Asia Minor</a>." The connection to which he refers is a pun not present in English translation: the wine is mixed (<i>kerannymenos</i>), which appears to contain the bull's horn (<i>keras</i>), the ancient Greek name of the <i>rhyton</i>. </p><p>In the myth, <a href="/wiki/Ichor" title="Ichor">ichor</a> from Olympus falls among rocks. From it grow grapevines. One grows around a pine tree, where a serpent, winding up the tree, eats the grapes. Dionysus, seeing the snake, pursues it into a hole in the rocks. Following an oracle of <a href="/wiki/Rhea_(mythology)" title="Rhea (mythology)">Rhea</a>, the Cretan mountain goddess, Dionysus hollows out the hole and tramples grapes in it, dancing and shouting. The goddess, the rocks, the snake, and the dancing are Cretan themes. The cult of Dionysus was Anatolian. At its most abstract, the <i>rhyton</i> is the container of the substance of life, celebrated by the ritual dancing on the grapes. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Gallery">Gallery</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Rhyton&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Gallery"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 235px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 230px;
