Modes de figurations des dieux en Grèce ancienne. Le cas du sacrifice

Abstract

This article sets to understand how the gods as a certain category of invisible beings are depicted in the sacrifice, a central act of Ancient Greek religious life. This work is based on the analysis of ceramics and votive stone sculptures. Several types of figuration, such as the statue form, the human form, a very static form of figuration, stand out as we try to understand the values attached to each type of representation, taking into account the nature of the objects and their use.
