title: Nestor's Cup (mythology)
text: In Greek mythology Nestor's Cup is a legendary golden mixing cup which was owned by the hero Nestor. The cup is described in the Iliad, and possibly appeared elsewhere in the Epic Cycle. Despite its brief appearance in the Iliad, the cup was the subject of significant attention from ancient commentators on Homer. It is not to be confused with the real gold cup excavated at Mycenae in 1876, which is commonly known as "Nestor's Cup". This has both similarities and differences.
