  • Funeral Monuments in Macedonia During the Archaic and Classical
    Funeral monuments in Macedonia during the Archaic and Classical periods. Afroditi Douitsi SCHOOL OF HUMANITIES A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Arts (MA) in the Classical Archaeology and the Ancient History of Macedonia January 2017 Thessaloniki – Greece Student Name: Afroditi Douitsi SID: 2204150011 Supervisor: Prof. Eleni Manakidou I hereby declare that the work submitted is mine and that where I have made use of another’s work, I have attributed the source(s) according to the Regulations set in the Student’s Handbook. January 2017 Thessaloniki - Greece Abstract This dissertation was written as part of the MA in in the Classical Archaeology and the Ancient History of Macedonia at the International Hellenic University. The boundaries of Macedonia were extending to the Pierian mountains, the Big Prespa lake and mountain Dysoron during the periods under consideration while the most known cemeteries in Macedonia were those of Aigai, Pella, Amphipolis, Pydna and Aiane. We could encounter grave types such as pit, cist, sarcophagi and jar burials while the basic burial practices were the inhumation and the cremation. Factors such as the origins of the inhabitants in the cities under examination or the gender and the social status of the deceased played major role to the style and the iconography of the funeral monuments respectively. The grave markers could be divided into figured representa- tions and architectural remains. In the first category the major part constitute the tomb- stones mainly subdivided in painted and relief grave “stelai”. A further categorization could be made according to typological elements such as the type of the crowning (pedimental, palmette), the framing of the shaft and the placement of the figure scene in a recessed panel.

  • Three Women Sharing a Mantle in 6Th Century BCE Greek Vase-Painting: Plurality, Unity, Family, and Social Bond
    arts Article Three Women Sharing a Mantle in 6th Century BCE Greek Vase-Painting: Plurality, Unity, Family, and Social Bond Valérie Toillon Département d’histoire de l’art et d’études cinématographiques, Université de Montréal, Montréal, QC H3T 1J4, Canada; [email protected] Received: 30 May 2019; Accepted: 22 October 2019; Published: 25 October 2019 Abstract: The motif of three women sharing the same mantle is pictured on about a dozen vases dating from the first half of the sixth century BCE. Among these vases, the so-called “François Vase” and a dinos signed by Sophilos (now in London, British Museum) are of particular interest. The wedding of Thetis and Peleus is pictured on both vases. This theme is well-adapted to the representation of a procession of deities in which the Charites, Horai, Moirai, and Muses take part. The main feature of these deities is a shared mantle, which covers and assembles them, emphasizing that these deities are plural by definition. The main study on this iconographical theme remains that by Buchholz, who documented most of the depictions of the “shared-mantle” in ancient Greek vase-painting and small terracottas. The shared-mantle motif has been interpreted successively as a reference to the sacred peplos (in relation to the wedding), a simplification from the painter to avoid painting all the mantles, a sign of emotional/sexual union, a religious gesture, and a depiction of choruses. The present study aims to consider in more detail the “shared-mantle” as an iconographic sign that involves the idea of community, shared identity, and emotional bond.
