Ancient Attic Greek vessel in the form of a hare
Unknown Greek craftsman
Attic Greek drinking vessels occasionally come in the shape of an animal, in this case a hare. Along with this shape, these drinking vessels also sometimes tell Greek mythology; this vessel tells the story of Zeus creating shrimp. It is myth lost in time with very little details aside from the fact that a hare is involved somehow; historians theorize that, like many other Greek tales, Zeus either turned into a rabbit or shrimp to procreate with a woman unwillingly and somehow created the other being.
