Beyond Words: The Visualization of Myths in Greek Antiquity
The paper explores how images in Greek antiquity articulated myths independently from texts. The Choregic Monument of Lysikrates in Athens (ca. 335/4 BCE) with its reference to a well-known Dionysiac narrative serves as a starting point for a discussion of the powerful ways in which visual representations instill perceptions of mythological figures and events.
