Fragment of a terracotta kylix (drinking cup)

Attributed to Douris

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 171

Interior, upper body of a satyr holding a lyre
Reverse, legs of three figures

While satyrs often display uncivilized behavior, this individual sits wrapt as he plays the lyre. He is, indeed, far more Apollonian than Dionysiac.
