In Greece, they found a bowl named perira

In the Athenian suburb of Kifiss, archaeologists found a wine bowl (the so -called Scythos ), which, very likely, was holding in his hands the famous Athenian statesman Perikl.

The find is made in a poor burial discovered during the construction of the house. Scientists had to glue the bowl of 12 pieces. Under one of the handles of the bowl, the names of six men were recorded, including the name "Perikl".

To assume that this pericl was the most famous Athenian politician and commander, scientists made another name - Arithron (ἀρίφρων). That was the name of the brother of Perikel, and this name was quite rare. The secretary of the Greek epigraphic society Angelos Matteu is 99 percent sure that these were these brothers, and not some of their unknown namesakes.

The scientist assumes that six participants in a sympososy - a friendly feast, which was an important part of the social life of the Greeks, more often signed as a souvenir. The guests were quite drunk, in particular Perikl made a mistake in writing his own name and was forced to fix it. Then the bowl was presented to a man named Drape (δραπέτης, “fugitive”), who could be a slave who served at a feast, or the owner of a drinking establishment.

In the fall, the bowl will be exhibited in the epigraphic Museum of Athens.
