1. A Phrygian king who was punished in the lower world by

the figure a siphon, the longer arm of which passes down
through the bottom of the cup, and allows the escape of
any liquid that may be poured in, when it reaches as high
as the bend of the siphon, which is just below the level
of the mouth of the figure in the cup.
