Kiln (poem) The Kiln (Ancient Greek: Κάμινος , "Kaminos"), or Potters (Κεραμεῖς , "Kerameis"), is a 23-line hexameter poem that was variously attributed to Homer or Hesiod during antiquity, but is not considered the work of either poet by modern scholars. The poem constitutes an appeal to Athena to grant success to certain unnamed potters if they pay for the poet's song, followed by a series of curses to be enacted should they not reimburse him. It has been included among the "Epigrams" of Homer, as epigram XIV.
