Drinking whilst recumbent

I would really question this statement. First, in paintings we see them drinking whilst semi-recumbent. Secondly, it is not at all clear to me why drinking from a large stemmed saucer would be any easier than from an ordinary cup, regardless of one's angle of repose. If we were to speculate, I would guess it was more in keeping with the discipline of maintaining sobriety while drinking to use a type of cup that required greater dexterity than the more normal kind. Imagine trying to balance one of these wide, flat saucers filled with wine while propped up on one elbow! Haiduc 04:05, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Opaque statement

"They were created from the collection of earthen ware, which ultimately aided in the production of the ceramic glass of the kylix." I can't understand what this means.

It sounds like if you collect together enough earthen bowls in the same place, they magically turn into a kylix. Obviously something else is meant, but what?
What is "ceramic glass"? Never heard of that. Is the scientific definition of glass being used here? Vitreous ceramic might be a better term.
I get the impression the sentence is trying to say something about the evolution of ceramic technology over time, from earthenware to stoneware ... maybe.

Another opaque statement

"the Mycenaean times of the classic Athenian period of Ancient Greece" doesn't mean anything obvious either. It could mean Mycenaean = Late Helladic (1550-1060 BC), but Classical Athens gives me dates starting from the establishment of democracy in 510 BC. An actual date range would be good. 81.131.21.44 (talk) 19:28, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
