    The Pythagorean Cup of Justice The Pythagorean Cup, also known as the Greedy Cup, is a drinking cup designed in ancient Greece by the mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras. The cup is designed so that if it is filled over a certain amount, the liquid will overflow through a small hole in the bottom. This ingenious design was meant to prevent one from over-indulging in wine or other beverages. It was also used to make sure that everyone in a banquet was served the same amount of drink. https://www.sifouniospottery.com https://www.thepythagoreancup.com The cup is a symbol of moderation in Greek philosophy, which states that one should not overindulge in anything and that moderation is key in all aspects of life. It also represents the idea of balance and harmony, since it is made up of two parts: the cup and the hole. The cup is a reminder that one should not be excessive in anything and that there should be a balance between pleasure and responsibility. Pythagoras is believed to have invented the Pythagorean cup because he wanted to find a way to avoid overindulgence and maintain temperance. The cup was designed to prevent a person from drinking too much wine. The cup was made from a hollow, two-handled vessel with a plug in the bottom. When the cup was filled with wine, the plug would be removed and the wine allowed to pour out until the drinker's desired level of intoxication was reached. When the plug was put back in place, any further drinking was prevented. This design was meant to help people maintain their temperance and practice moderation in their drinking. https://www.sifouniospottery.com https://www.thepythagoreancup.com
