And this likewise is a round vessel made of wood, in- tended to receive mUk, or whey ; as it is said in Homer — ■ Capacious chargers all around were laid, Full pails (trrai^fSEj), and vessels of the milking trade.
Unless, indeed, o-kui^os is quasi cr/cu5os, because the Scythians were in the habit of drinking more than was decent. But Hie- ronymus the Ehodian, in his treatise on Drunkenness, says to get drunk is called. But at subsequent times scyphi were made of earthen- ware and of silve ...r, in imitation of the wooden ones. And the first makers of cups of this kind were the Boeotians, who obtained a high reputation for their manufacture ; because Hercules originally used these cups in his expeditions. On which account they are called Heraoleotici by some people.
And they are different from other cups ; for they have on their handles what is called the chain of Hercules. And Bacchy- lides mentions the Boeotian scyphi in these words, (addressing his discourse to Castor and Pollux, and invoking their attend- ance at a banquet) — Here there are no mighty joints Of oxen slain, — no golden plate, No purple rich embroidery ; But there is a cheerful mind, And a sweetly-sounding Muse, And plenty of delicious wine.
