With on the spot, English translations from Cynthia Chaplin and Richard Huff, get ready to nerd out with Professor science himself. Name. It's a it's it's a niche name. It's not just a name. It's a He's always been embarrassed by this name even since he was a little child. He didn't like having this thing. And so he doesn't like having, having a big deal made out of this. On the first day of school every year would see his name on the list and they would call him out. Oh, you're mister science. Okay. The whole time he was a child. So he's he's directing me to the subtitle of life from the east. You know, So he says that, light from the east to him means that, everything we have in Viticulture has come from Asia. Historically. So, Asia Minor, other parts of Asia, he's very happy to see so many of our students are also from Asia. Because we owe everything that we have in vines and grapes and wine, from this historic light that came from the east and then to the west over time. The the And the symbol here is called a key mix, and it was a piece of pottery that was meant, during agreed times to use in what they call symposiums and symposium for a time when people would gather, drink wine, have debates, have conversations. And this particular piece is from the board and century, BC, and is now in the museum, the archaeological museum in New York and Germany. So everyone, right, from the same vessel. There was one vessel, and they all shared. So rather than touching it to their mouth, they put with their thumb in one of the little rings on the sides, and they poured it from a height so that the wine would fall into their mouth and it would be passed around the group during the symposium.

He said that you have to imagine yourself as, a person participating in one of these symposiums where there was a lot of deep discussion on many topics and many of the people who were involved, were afraid they were nervous and didn't wanna say the wrong thing. So in order to grasp their courage, they would take hold of the key links, have a sip of wine, and they will become like Dionysus like Vocus, and they would find a way to speak truthfully with the wine in their hand. The the the great you know, So he's talking about the fact that this Helix that we're looking at represents the voyage of Dynesis and how he came from race in the northern most cold part of Greece. And in his boat, as he traveled, This is a legend, obviously. As he traveled, around in this way, he brought the culture of wine drinking. He didn't actually bring grape varietals and fines, but he brought the culture of how groups of people would gather intellectually to speed and to drape and to celebrate. From Electre in So what about that? So the the symbols on this key logs are particularly important and indicative of the beliefs, at the time because the number seven was one of the most important numbers. A, you know, a cableistic number. Also, the number of the seven tribes of Israel. So a number that meant a lot in the ancient world, and the number became important because the three elements of human life, water, fire, and earth, times two is six and adding the deity, the god would be seven. So seven became, a ritualistic, very important number, and you see on the Helix seven dolphins, which often represented death, and travel, and, voyages for sailors. We also see the seven bunches of grapes at the top of the Helix. This shows us how many different varieties already existed in Greek culture. We see that each one is different. We can't tell what they were, but there were clearly a lot of varietals of graves available in Greece already. So we can see better here what I was discussing before as Professor said, we see the seven different types of grapes, the seven dolphins. We see the boat of Dionysus making its voyage.
