Did you know that the ancient Greeks had a drinking game that involved flinging wine across the room? The game was called kottabos, and for centuries it was one of the most popular forms of entertainment at Greek drinking parties known as symposia.

Played at elite drinking parties known as symposia, kottabos challenged participants to fling the last drops of wine from their cups at distant targets. Success required skill, precision, and a surprisingly athletic technique. Victorious players could win prizes, earn admiration, and even improve their romantic prospects.

History is full of strange games, but few are as uniquely Greek as kottabos.
