From the age of Homer until late antiquity the culture of ancient
Greece and Rome was permeated by images of Greek myths. Gods and
heroes were represented as statues, on vase and wall paintings, on
temples, on sarcophagi as well as on other media. This book offers,
for the first time, a concise introduction into the interpretation
of images of Greek myths. Its main aim is to make the pictorial
versions of the myths comprehensible on their own terms. Ancient
artists were well aware of the potential but also the limitations
of these 'silent' images and of the strategies that made them
'speak' to the audience/viewer. The book combines detailed
explanation of theoretical and methodological issues with
exhaustive discussion of case studies. It will be useful and
stimulating for all undergraduate and graduate students taking
courses in classical mythology and ancient art."
