In thetypology of ancient Greek pottery, thedinos (pluraldinoi) is a mixing bowl orcauldron.Dinos means'drinking cup', but in modern typology is used (wrongly) for the same shape as alebes, that is, a bowl with a spherical body meant to sit on a stand. It has no handles and no feet.[1]
TheDinos Painter, one of the ancient Greek artists known forancient Greek vase painting, takes his name from the type of vase characteristic of his work.[2]
Dinos were used for mixing water and wine, as it was considered rude to drink straight out of the goblet, at the time.[citation needed]
