Kylix with Men Courting Youths — View Full-Size Image

Gift-giving was an important aspect of courtship in ancient Greece. Lovers often gave items like wreaths and flowers to their beloved as a token of affection. The men on this red-figure kylix offer such gifts to indifferent youths. Attributed to the Douris Painter, c. 480 BCE.
