Complete Your Purchase
Buy a handmade **Pythagorean Cup** painted with motifs inspired by **Minoan art**. This unique vessel is also known as the **Greedy Cup** or **Tantalus Cup** and is attributed to Pythagoras himself.
The Pythagorean cup is designed to teach moderation: when filled only to a certain level, it works as a normal drinking cup. If the user fills it beyond this level, however, the entire contents drain out through the base, spilling onto the lap of the overindulgent drinker. This clever invention reflects the ancient Greek value of balance and restraint.
**Minoan art** (c. 2600–1100 BCE) from Bronze Age Crete is celebrated for its naturalistic designs of fish, squid, birds, lilies, and floral motifs, alongside spirals and geometric forms. This decorative version of the Pythagorean Cup reflects both the mathematical ingenuity of Pythagoras and the aesthetic traditions of the Minoan civilization.
