Attic dinos, ca. 540 BC, Louvre Cp 11243
In the typology of ancient Greek pottery, the dinos (plural dinoi) is a mixing bowl or cauldron. Dinos means "drinking cup," but in modern typology is used (wrongly) for the same shape as a lebes, that is, a bowl with a spherical body meant to sit on a stand. It has no handles and no feet.[1]
The Dinos Painter, one of the ancient Greek artists known for vase painting, takes his name from the type of vase characteristic of his work.[2]
Dinos were used for mixing water and wine, as it was considered rude to drink straight out of the goblet, at the time.[citation needed]

PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) -- It’s National Dinosaur Day and the Arizona Center for Nature Conservation and the Phoenix Zoo have officially announced the return of the popular “Dinosaurs in the Desert” event this fall!
On Oct. 1, animatronic dinosaurs will take over the zoo, photo ops will abound and a fossil dig will allow young archaeologists to get a little dirty. New prehistoric species such as giganotosaurus, troodon, allosaurus, parasaurolophus, a giant bear and many more will be onsite for observation. In anticipation of the event, a kentrosaurus can now be found near the carousel, standing almost six feet tall. Its species was indigenous to Tanzania and Tendaguru, Africa during the Jurassic period nearly 150 million years ago.
“We felt it was time to bring back dinosaurs to the desert,” said President and CEO Bert Castro. “It’s been five years since we’ve hosted this traveling exhibit, and we all know how rough the past few years have been, so we wanted to unveil an attraction that allows guests to experience a bit of adventure, playfulness and reverie.” Members will be able to take a walk back in time on October 1 & 2, and the general public will be able to start their journey starting Oct. 3.
