Enhance your decor with an Ancient Greek Pottery Vase,an Hydria with 3 handle .Hydria was a type of water-carrying vessel in Ancient Greece.

First Side: It is shows Aegeus with Pythia on Delphi. In Greek mythology Aegeus was an archaic figure in the founding myth in Athens. The "goat-man" who gave his name to the Aegean sea was, next to God Poseidon, the father of Theseus, the founder of Athenian institutions and one of the Kings of Athens .
Second Side: Oedipus meeting the Sphinx at the crossroads on his journey between Thebes and Delphi. Oedipus must answer the Sphinx's riddle correctly in order to pass. Failure means his own death and that of the besieged Thebans. The riddle was: "What walks on four feet in the morning, two in the afternoon and three at night?". Oedipus answered: "Man: as an infant, he crawls on all fours; as an adult, he walks on two legs and; in old age, he uses a walking stick". Oedipus was the first to answer the riddle correctly and, having heard Oedipus' answer, the Sphinx was astounded and inexplicably killed herself by throwing herself into the sea. Oedipus thereby won the freedom of the Thebans, the kingdom of that city and a wife Jocasta, who it was later revealed was his mother.
