Iliad
A finely wrought silver bowl with a history running through Sidon, Phoenician traders, Thoas, Eueneus, and Patroklos, offered as the footrace's first prize.
The son of Peleus then offered prizes for speed in running - a mixing-bowl beautifully wrought, of pure silver.
Odysseus therefore carried off the mixing-bowl, for he got before Ajax and came in first.
Odyssey
A silver mixing-bowl with a gold-inlaid rim, crafted by Hephaistos and given by Phaidimos to Menelaos, then to Telemakhos.
It is a mixing-bowl of pure silver, except the rim, which is inlaid with gold, and it is the work of Hephaistos.
With these words he placed the double cup in the hands of Telemakhos, while Megapenthes brought the beautiful mixing-bowl and set it before him.
