Download or read book The Centaur s Smile written by J. Michael Padgett and published by Other Distribution. This book was released on 2003 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human animals - centaurs, satyrs, sphinxes, sirens and Gorgons - as well as other composite beings like Pan, Triton, Acheloos, and the Minotaur, are extremely common in Greek myth, literature, theater, and the visual arts. Understanding the phenomenon of combining human and animal elements into composite creatures is central to our knowledge of the Greek imagination. This book discusses the oriental antecedents of these fantastic creatures, examining the influence of Egyptian and Near Eastern models on the formation of Greek monsters in the Geometric and Archaic periods. Fully illustrated essays explore the nature and origin of horse men (centuars and satyrs) and the broader range of Greek composite creatures, discussing their evolving forms and changing roles during this seminal period of Greek art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the world of ancient Greece, where the creatures of myth are real and centaurs roam wild. This hand-illustrated coloring book features the centaur characters and concept art from the series, "Sons of Apollo." In all of mythology the centaurs are depicted as the villains, slain by the heroes whose conquests made them legend. Perhaps, when viewed from the context of their own culture, the centaurs are not the villains they seemed to be.

Download or read book Art and Myth in Ancient Greece written by T. H. Carpenter and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2022-01-20 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greek myths are so much part of our culture that we tend to forget how they entered it in the first place. Visual sources vase paintings, engraved gems and sculpture in bronze and stone often pre-date references to the myths in literature, or offer alternative, unfamiliar tellings. In some cases visual art provides our only evidence, as there is no surviving account in ancient Greek literature of such important stories as the Fall of Troy, or Theseus and the Minotaur. T. H. Carpenters book is the first comprehensive, scholarly yet succinct survey of myth as it appears in Greek art. Copiously illustrated, it is an essential reference work for everybody interested in the art, drama, poetry or religion of ancient Greece. With this handbook as a guide, readers will be able to identify scenes from myth across the full breadth of archaic and classical Greek art.

Download or read book The Marvellous and the Monstrous in the Sculpture of Twelfth century Europe written by Kirk Ambrose and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2013 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richly-illustrated consideration of the meaning of the carvings of non-human beings, from centaurs to eagles, found in ecclesiastical settings. Representations of monsters and the monstrous are common in medieval art and architecture, from the grotesques in the borders of illuminated manuscripts to the symbol of the "green man", widespread in churches and cathedrals. These mysterious depictions are frequently interpreted as embodying or mitigating the fears symptomatic of a "dark age". This book, however, considers an alternative scenario: in what ways did monsters in twelfth-century sculpture help audiences envision, perhaps even achieve, various ambitions? Using examples of Romanesque sculpture from across Europe, with a focus on France and northern Portugal, the author suggests that medieval representations of monsterscould service ideals, whether intellectual, political, religious, and social, even as they could simultaneously articulate fears; he argues that their material presence energizes works of art in paradoxical, even contradictory ways. In this way, Romanesque monsters resist containment within modern interpretive categories and offer testimony to the density and nuance of the medieval imagination.
