As stated in the thread you added to on the previous video, this is a mini series for Primary school. Not a complete over view of the Hellenistic world.
Angel S Obviously pottery doesn’t have a gender. Rather pots for make up preparation and cups for drinking wine reflect different firm gendered categories in Ancient Greece. Women absolutely weren’t welcome at a Symposium. Thanks for watching :)
@@Archaeos0up Considering what happened at Greek symposiums, I doubt they would want to attend. But I agree: it is bold to claim that some pottery was only for men and other only for women. It needs more substantiation than can be presented in an intro video. Did women really never drink from a kylix?
Love the video, super informative and interesting!
This is an excellent video.
skills you don't see in to many cultures, And very difficult to make especialy a kylix cup, one in six came from the kiln,
very good, very good. Were there seats for the potters or was this done standing.... oh, my aching back.
good work! 😁
how to find the picture in 1:00 ??
It is a famous symposium scene from Paestum, a creative commons image is here:

Nice video! This reminds me of my experience of making pottery, with electronic wheel, haha.
Am I the only one who heard talking in the background when he was shaping the pot
Yes, the room is adjacent to a hall through which a school group was noisily passing on their way out of the Museum.
Love the potter's wheel!

i realize it is kind of randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to stream newly released series online ?
Shefton museum
Why do you say Ancient Greece and not Grecian?

who came up with the idea to say pottery is a certain gender? lol

@@christianfrommuslim It doesn't mean that women never drank from them. Ofcourse!
@@Archaeos0up Exactly. So although one may mention symposia, one need not relegate them as dedicated to men.
@@Archaeos0up Sexism aside, I very much liked the video. The pottery wheel demonstration added a lot to understanding the process.
