The cups of discord. 2000 years old cups, made by masters of Greek Attic pottery. One (left) was returned by the Met to Italy in 2022. A second (right) was returned last year, but Italian officials agreed it could stay at the Met on loan. According to the NYTimes they were completely rassembled from fragments. 😅

This is fantastic 😄🔥🖤🖤

Wowow, if these really were assembled from shattered fragments, they show the power of the human spirit to redeem something of beauty from the violent emotions of humans.

I am glad they were shared and the Trojan war has ended.
