What does RHYTON mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
An ancient Greek drinking vessel shaped like a horn, often ending in an animal's head.
A rhyton was filled from the top and the drink flowed out through a small hole at the lower point, so the drinker held it up and let a thin stream fall into the mouth. Potters and metalworkers made them in the form of horns, lions, rams and other creatures, and they were prized as ceremonial and festive vessels. Museums display many examples in clay, silver and gold. The plural is either rhytons or rhyta.
