In the typology of ancient Greek pottery, the dinos (plural dinoi) is a mixing bowl or cauldron. Dinos means 'drinking cup', but in modern typology is used (wrongly) for the same shape as a lebes, that is, a bowl with a spherical body meant to sit on a stand. It has no handles and no feet.[1]
The Dinos Painter, one of the ancient Greek artists known for ancient 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]
