Abstract

The ancient Greeks knew some multi-use healthy pots, whether in their rooms or in festivals associated with the gods, the most famous of which was ἀμίς. It is worth noting that these pots were not only known in Greece; but also in Pharaonic Egypt. These pots were depicted in Greek art during the Hellenic era, whether in black or red-figure vases. These pots also varied among the chamber pots, the most famous of which were potty chairs and choes pots, which were widely used as urinals in banquets after drinking wine, which was always carried by the boy servant waiting for his master. In addition to the kylix pots. These pots were emptied on agricultural lands to increase soil fertility, it is worth noting that these pots were associated with some tools, including a wooden stick ending with a piece of wool. Some other pots were also depicted, such as the Lutron used for bathing or purification rituals. In addition to, the footbath pot used for washing hands and feet, as well as for vomiting. The research aims to identify these types of pots, their names, their uses, and their depiction in Greek art during the Archaic and Classical eras. The research also clears some customs and traditions associated with Greek homes, symposiums, and festivals during this period. Key words: Healthy pots, chamber pots, potty chair, cheos, foot bath, krater, Lutron.
