What do Greek myths mean and how was meaning created for the
ancient viewer? In Art, Myth and Ritual in Classical Greece, Judith
Barringer considers the use of myth on monuments at several key
sites - Olympia, Athens, Delphi, Bassai, and Trysa - showing that
myth was neither randomly selected nor purely decorative. The
mythic scenes on these monuments had meaning, the interpretation of
which depends on context. Barringer explains how the same myth can
possess different meanings and how, in a monumental context, the
mythological image relates to the site and often to other monuments
surrounding it, which redouble, resonate, or create variation on a
theme. The architectural sculpture examined here is discussed in a
series of five case studies, which are chronologically arranged and
offer a range of physical settings, historical and social
circumstances, and interpretive problems. Providing new
interpretations of familiar monuments, this volume also offers a
comprehensive way of seeing and understanding Greek art and culture
as an integrated whole.
