O is for OWNER. Greek men gathered to drink and talk politics, sports, whatever, an event called a symposium. Wine, watered down in a large vessel called a krater, was dipped or poured into individual pottery drinking vessels that were wide and shallow. The host of the symposium commonly scratched his name into the black finish of these individual drinking cups, to prove ownership.
Thanks again WPRESTO, for informative images and comments. This particular one took me back a good number of years, when I was at Bible College, and studied NT Greek, and amongst other things, we "discovered" that the meaning of the word Symposium meant a drinking party. So any odd ocasion that we gathered together over the years (usually for a "braai" the american equivalent to a barbeque,) we euphamistically called "lets have a Symposium". Not that we drank much, other than the odd beer. So, I propose a "symposium" to WPRESTO!

Thanks noelcmn and glad you enjoyed the post. For M and I, both scientists, learning about the original use of "symposium" cast new light on large meetings regularly attended, as the word still retains essentially all of its original meaning. And thanks for offering to call a symposium for me, but I'll take rum & coke or Long Island ice tea as I don't drink beer or ale.

Looks like musical chairs, and they're all into it. What a delightful group.
