There were very few small hand held, portable "bottles" at the time as they were determined not to be cost effective given the very little volume they would hold. Instead, an "Amphora" (Plural: amphorae) was used to transport fluids. An amphora was similar to the size of a modern day flower vase with handles on either side.

Drinkable fluid from an amphora would be poured into a small "Kylix" which is the most direct equivalent to a small drinking cup.

As in the child of a god or a mortal?

Same way you kill a human unless he/she has somehow earned himself invincibility. Or takes a dip in the river of Styx. If they take a dip in the river of Styx and come out alive and make it out of the Underworld then they only have one week spot.

If you read Percy Jackson and the Olympians and you're talking more about that then the myths, then Celestial Bronze, Stygian Iron and probably Imperial gold.

To the Greeks the entire race of goat-men were referred to as Satyr(s)

To the Latins (Romans) they were called Faun(s)

The most well known Satyr would be Pan.

In early Christian mythology Satan because associated with goats and being a goat man, probably due to the remark of Jesus Christ of:

Matthew 25:31-46 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

Which is really unfortunate as goat are lovely creatures and some of us like them.
