The Lekethos Name

Lekethos pron. Lee- kee-thos

A lekythos is a type of ancient Greek pottery, typically used to store oil, especially olive oil, for personal use or ceremonial purposes. It is characterized by its slender body, narrow neck, and single handle, making it both practical and elegant. In reimagining this term, we have transformed lekythos into lekethos to incorporate the word ethos within it. Ethos is a Greek word meaning "character" or "spirit," representing the values, beliefs, and guiding principles of a person, culture, or community. By blending these elements, lekethos symbolizes not just a vessel for olive oil but a container of cultural and personal values, connecting the tradition of ancient craftsmanship with the timeless importance of integrity and purpose.
