Abstract: A Hellenistic mouldmade relief bowl from the second half of the 2th century BC found in Porsuk (Southern Cappadocia) represents Odysseus offering a cup of wine to Polyphemos, surrounded by satyrs. It illustrates an episode of the only complete surviving satyric drama, The Cyclops of Euripides. Manufactured in the workshops of Antioch-on-the-Orontes, this literary bowl is exceptional on more than one count, since it reveals contacts between Northern Syria and the Anatolian plateau. It also vouches for the survival of Classical Athenian drama in the Hellenized Eastern world.
