Origin[]

Created at an unknown time, though it was first recorded at a later date than the other Olympian artifacts due to Dionysus' late addition to the pantheon. It was recovered during the reign of Alexander the Great, and was used mainly to intoxicate enemies at parties and other gatherings to make for easier kills.

Effects[]

When water, fresh or salt, is used to fill the chalice, it quickly transmutes into a very sweet wine. It's possibe that this effect contributed somewhat into tying it into the Christian-Jesus stories. The wine, however, is far more intoxicating than the normal variety and a few sips is enough to make even the soberest of persons drunk and very disorderly. The wine is so potent that even the bouquet it give off can induce dizziness, headaches and even hallucinations if exposed to for long periods.

Collection[]

Collected by Alexander the Great in 333 BC after hearing reports of a chalice which could quickly intoxicate anyone who smelled them. It was amongst the few artifacts he collected which he used on occasion.

Recovered from the now-deactivated Warehouse 2 in 2011.
