Since the dawn of time, man has danced to honor his gods, to placate the forces of nature, and for the sheer joy of it. On this delightful vessel--produced in the luxury-loving city of Corinth--four men are engaged in a perpetual and lively dance. In our imaginations we are transported back to some bright ancient day; we hear the drums, the flutes, the rhythmic beat of feet on the earth. We too feel inspired to dance, merely for the pleasure and the beauty of it. - (PF.0188)
