#Mycenean tombs, Lakythra.
Some of the richest graves on #Kefalonia.
Cut into the natural sandstone, they were in use for over 300 yrs to 1100 BC. It is likely the #hero #Odysseus was buried in similar fashion.

The art is really, really great. LOOK AT THAT SEXY WAX TABLET IN THE LOADING SCREEN. LOOK AT THE TEXTURE ON THAT LAMP. Okay, the gorgoneion pendant looks more like a Roman mosaic, but the Athenian coins are cool. (#classicstwitter confirmed my suspicion that the inscription used on the tablet is, in fact, post-Roman. The Latin bit gives it away)

Hey #ClassicsTwitter, this site says the practice of toasting began in Ancient Greece to prove some wasn’t poisoned. Leaving all else aside, do you know of any evidence that the practice of drinking from a communal cup/jug was to show it was safe? https://www.toastmasters.org/magazine/articles/the-history-of-toasting
