“…Different types of strainers (for the krater or the cup) may have catered to individual preferences for strained or unstrained wine. 33 Notably the so-called Falaieff-kraters: see McPhee (2000). It is noteworthy that northern Greek tombs that have yielded elaborate kraters with strainers seemingly contained no graters.…”

Interpretations of metal graters and pottery tripod bowls as Leitfossils of a trans-Mediterranean ‘orientalizing’ culture of spiced-wine consumption have of late become a staple of scholarship on sympotic banqueting, shaping our perception of ancient wine-drinking and its role in cross-cultural interaction in the first half of the first millennium BC. Yet a closer look at the evidence for spiced wine and the use of graters casts serious doubt on assumptions of a widespread practice of adding ‘spices’ to wine during the Greek symposion and of the use of graters or tripod grinding bowls for such a purpose in the Mediterranean and Near Eastern world. A more plausible scenario, it is argued, arises from the well-attested association of graters with cheese and other primarily culinary commodities. It sees the grater’s prime function and symbolic significance shift from a use in Early Iron Age ‘Homeric’ hospitality to becoming a tool in the increasingly complex cuisines associated with the Archaic and Classical banquet – an indicator of evolving Mediterranean commensality with no less of an international horizon, but a commensality that involved interaction and shared consumption beyond the narrowly sympotic.

The focus of this article is a group of 18 red-figure fragments or fr vessels found at Corinth whose place of manufacture cannot be by visual analysis. All are datable to the later 5th or early 4th c Several of the vases were decorated by the Academy Painter (an Mannerist) or by another painter, designated the Painter of Corin who is considered here for the first time. Chemical analysis of th indicates that 15 of the 18 form a discrete group distinct from n and Corinthian clays. The analysis also confirms the Corinthian bell krater painted by the Attic Suessula Painter. Many fragments of red-figure vases have come to light in the e at Ancient Corinth conducted since 1896 by the American Classical Studies at Athens.1 Most of these fragments can be easily by visual analysis of fabric and style as either Attic or Co and most of the significant fragments have already been pu few fragments have been identified as imports from Sicily, Sou
