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."

provides a concise introduction to the interpretation of the images
of Greek myths. Its main aim is to make the pictorial versions of

well aware of the potential - but also the limitations - of these
'silent' images and of the strategies that made them 'speak' to the

methodological issues at stake and discusses in detail a number of
case studies. It will be useful and stimulating for all

This book, first published in 2004, develops a theory for the
understanding of Roman pictorial art. By treating Roman art as a
semantic system it establishes a connection between artistic forms
and the ideological messages contained within. The history of Roman
art traditionally followed the model of a sequence of stylistic
phases affecting the works of their era in the manner of a uniform
Zeitgeist. By contrast, the author shows different stylistic forms
being used for different themes and messages. The reception of
Greek models, a key phenomenon of Roman art, thus appear in a new
light. The formulations of specific messages are established from
Greek art types of different eras serving to express Roman
ideological values: classical forms for the grandeur of the state,
Hellenistic forms for the struggling effort of warfare. In this way
a conceptual and comprehensible pictorial language arose, uniting
the multicultural population of the Roman state.
