La représentation du temps et des mythes dans l’art grec aspectif

Abstract

In seeking to represent their myths and their way of life, the Greeks invented their own way of representing aspective. Since that a myth is realized in time, we must ask ourselves the question of the treatment of time in the Greek aspective. This last one contribute to construct an original iconography, whose meaning is to show the sequences of fate. In a limited field, we then find a narrative of a few episodes that are, in literary versions, successive ; but without that same figure appearing twice. This notion of inheritance, various times combined in a single image, can be seen since geometric art, but do not concern myths that bring archaic art complex narrative images. The seventeenth century is an important witness in the development of the representation of the Greek myth, since it saw the birth of the first representations, these reflections and trials, while for the sixth century, before the first pioneers, we note the concrete rising of narrative scenes in Greek art.
