     THE LAMP IN THE BROWSING OF HISTORY

   Ancient Athens, during the Peloponnesian War. The prolonged period of civil conflict has tired the women of Ancient Greece. And they decide to react! Leader of all, Lysistrata who secretly convenes all the Athenians but also women ─ representatives from other cities. Purpose was to study their action plan!  Women gather. But when they understand that their leader proposes abstinence until the men decide to end the war, they hesitate, fear, disagree! They are convinced only when the Spartan Lampito, confirms in the most decisive way her origin, saying "yes" to Lysistrata's plan. The decision is sealed with an oath on the wine. "Drink from this wine / and I keep the oath / And in the oath which is not left / the wine becomes water".

  So Lampito, the much-loved friend. although Spartan, of Lysistrata in Aristophanes' comedy. Beautiful and very sweet, with wonderful skin and firm body! As Lysistrata characteristically says in one of their dialogues: "Lampito and bull you could drown". Apparently it refers to the "vivasis" exercise that existed in the compulsory gymnastics training of Spartans, men and women, and in which men and women kicked their thighs with their heels, jumping on the spot! 

  It seems that the Athenians did not view these exercises very well. This is pervasive in all of Aristophanes' comedies. Even Lampito's answer to Lysistrata "I think so, but the gods. Why do I exercise and lift my legs back!", Hides exactly that! A humorous hint that brings at least a smile to the viewers' lips..

HISTORY FROM GOLD BEHIND THE PRODUCT

  The most amusing god of Ancient Greece, the funniest, the happiest, could not be more than one. The god Dionysus! He offered people the most valuable gift, wine. 

  Thus, we often see him taking his company and traveling around Greece to teach the secrets of his art, viticulture. Maenads with long braided hair, Satyrs and Ceylons, all danced their ecstatic dance around him, praising the wine! In fact, from this peculiar company, from the goats that surrounded the god, the foundations of the tragedy were laid.

  ΛIt even happens that from the moment that the shepherd of the king of Aetolia, Oeneas, discovered the fruits of the grapes and squeezed them, Dionysus chose this name for the magic drink: "wine"!

  The etymology of the word "wine" followed later. It is born from the habit of the Ancient Greeks to drink their wine ΄΄kekrameno΄΄, which means mixed with water.

  Countless historical and mythological references to the festivals held in honor of the god Dionysus, the famous Dionysian mysteries to please Dionysus for his divine gift to the human race.
