Document Details : Title: 'Phrygian' Metal Vessels and the Introduction of Ladles to the Greek World Author(s): REGAZZONI, Enrico Journal: Ancient Near Eastern Studies Volume: 61 Date: 2024 Pages: 219-237 DOI: 10.2143/ANES.61.0.3294030 Abstract : Metal vessels from Iron Age Phrygia have commonly been interpreted as models for later Greek vessels. This is also the case for metal ladles, which are attested on the Anatolian Plateau from the mid-ninth century BCE onwards. Further west, in the Aegean and the wider western Mediterranean, ladles are only introduced in the late sixth century BCE. In order to evaluate the hypothesis of a Phrygian model for these later 'Greek' ladles, evidence for other first-millennium BCE ladle types will be reviewed. It will be argued that the introduction of ladles to the Greek world was not connected to Phrygia, but to wider changes in drinking practices, involving the whole of the Greek world and the Mediterranean in general. |
