Tiny clay pots unearthed in Greece
At a town called Orchomenos, ancient greek pottery and statuettes have been found. And the best part? They’re miniature! You know how in Goonies, Mikey feels a bond with One-Eyed Willy over their love of intricate booby traps? Yeah, I’m feelin’ that.
The pottery is dated to the 5th through 3rd centuries BC, which puts it smack dab in the golden Age of Athens, from Pericles to Plato. It’s said to be offerings to the Three Graces, popular fertility goddesses at the time. I guess the Greeks didn’t feel that super sizing the offering would bring them more fertility. Or maybe they were just scared of getting stuck with a fat baby.
