 A spelling bee word worth knowing, for a change.
rhyton
n.
Gr, neut. of rhytos, flowing, akin to rheein, to flow: see STREAM6 an ancient Greek cup shaped like a drinking horn and typically made in the form of an animal‘s head
Just afte WWII, I was in my home town library, waiting at librarian's desk to have books checked
out. I noticed and elephant sized book of color pictures of archeological treasures, and opened it
I was astounded to see a huge Krater with a half dozen naked males dancing in a circle
around it, each leaning backwards balancing a rhyton on the tip of his erect penis.
I have searched the Internet vainly hoping to find that picture again.Wordcrazy is a
specialist in such art books, but she couldn't find it.
