Demeter and Dionysos on Acrocorinth
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 December 2013
Extract
In Volume lxix of this Journal I published a paper with the unfortunate title ‘Boeotian Haloa’. Unfortunate because the group of vases with which it was concerned, which had been accepted as Boeotian ever since Wide first studied them in 1901, were shown by the American excavations in the Potters' Quarter at Corinth to be in fact Corinthian. That being so all speculations based on Wide's assumption of Boeotian origin, and particularly the supposed connexion of the vases with the cult of Demeter at Mykalessos, had to be dropped.

6 Winnowing could be done almost anywhere, but it is probable that it took place normally on the threshing-floor as in modern times. I have seen in an art and craft shop in Crete a model threshing-floor with toy oxen treading the corn. By the side of the circular floor there was a little hut and on the wall of the hut hung a winnowing fork and shovel corresponding closely to those of Dionysos on the Reading vase.
