Ceramic tile with a depiction of a ship and dolphins.

Depictions of ships accompanied by dolphins appear in Greek vases mainly after 550 BC. These scenes are related to the myth of Dionysus, according to which the god, once captured by Tyrrhenian pirates, transformed them into dolphins and made them his priests.
