South Propylaeum | 9530: “SOUTH PROPYLAEUM”. The “South Propylaeum”, as we see it today, is a result of the restoration of Evans who put up a copy of the “Cup-Bearer” fresco here. The wall painting depicted a man holding a libation vase (rhyton). Its theme is connected with the “Procession Fresco” which, according to Evans, reached here the “South Propylaeum”. The pithoi (large storage jars) on the east side of the Propylaeum belong to the Postpalatial Period (1450-1100 BC), and indicate that the area was later used for storage. Palace of Knossos (Crete).
