Alessandro Pace, Marco Vespa, I galli nell’immaginario greco antico, VIII-IV a.C.: prospettive di studio pluridisciplinari tra iconologia e analisi dei testi scritti - p. 181
The ancient
Greeks represented roosters in many different cultural contexts, ranging from
depictions on orientalising vases of the Early Archaic period to the comedies
and tragedies presented at dramatic festivals in fifth-century Athens. Most
studies on roosters in ancient Greek culture have approached the topic from a
single disciplinary perspective, focusing only on iconography, or dealing exclusively
with symbolic or literary aspects. This paper, by contrast, proposes to bring
together two distinct approaches and disciplines, namely iconography and
literary analysis. In so doing, the study will demonstrate how analysis of data
drawn from two different disciplinary fields can lead to new and relevant
hypotheses about the change in value and significance of the rooster in ancient
Greek cultural production between the end of the Archaic period and the
beginning of the Classical age.
