So, my clumsy servant broke the amphora I’ve had for as long as I can remember. I went to the marketplace looking for a new one, but for some reason almost all the amphorae there were ‘wheel thrown’.

What does that even mean?? Take a wheel off some poor farmer’s ox-cart and throw at a clump of clay hoping you get a pot?

Are coiled pots suddenly not good enough for people anymore?!

    My family makes its living off coiled pottery and this is eating into our livelihoods! Such a disaster! Someone needs to stop this!

    You think that’s wild, I saw amphora on the market with a completely flat bottom, just, liek, on a shelf. Da fuq?

    Didn’t I say using wheels would lead to this? Didn’t I say?!

      Oh, don’t be such a Hephaestus hater. Prometheus didn’t get imprisoned on a rock so that we let that fire burn out. Who knows what gets invented next. Maybe even a way to put all those stupid papyrus rolls into a neat shape that I can store in my house.

    Oh for fuck’s sake… first it was wheels on carts, now it’s wheels making pots.

    JUST PUT WHEELS ON EVERYTHING ALREADY IF THAT’S THE PLAN!

    smh…

    The same as all those other recent technological advances: they were given to us by our alien overlords.

    All servants born after 200BC do is break they amphora, throw clump of clay, and get pot. Ridiculous.
