Terracotta squat lekythos (oil jar). Culture: Greek, Attic. Dimensions: H. 8 1/8 in. (20.6 cm); diameter 4 3/8 in. (11.1 cm). Date: mid-4th century B.C.. Events in the Athenian festival of the Adonia The Adonia was a festival held in summer and dedicated to Adonis, the beautiful young hunter beloved by Aphrodite and killed by a boar. From his spilled blood, flowers issued from the ground. The celebration of the Adonia included setting pots of plants on rooftops to germinate and quickly wither. The lekythos shows a woman on a ladder receiving a planter from Eros, presumably to place on a roof. Similar objects appear in the field. Seated below the ladder is a young man, perhaps Adonis, and behind Eros is a woman, perhaps Aphrodite. The procession of figures behind the goddess may be connected with the ritual.
