Classical World Lecture: The Shipwreck of Odysseus

Location: Palamountain Hall: Davis Auditorium
日期:03/07/2011
时间:下午5:45
Speaker: Professor Jeffrey Hurwit

描述:
How do 希腊 vase painters represent their myths? Usually we have clues, such as traditional iconography or labels to tell us who is who and what is what. 希腊 vases of the Geometric period, however, this question does not have easy answers.

At tonight's lecture, Professor Jeffrey Hurwit considers an eighth-century 希腊 vase that used to be considered a painting of the shipwreck of the Homeric hero, Odysseus. Has the painter depicted a mythological scene or a generic scene of everyday life? 我们怎么知道? Professor Hurwit suggests that the Geometric imagery in fact defies simple categorization and exemplifies the variety and originality of early 希腊 art.
