Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Greek art has been discussed in general and in detail by archaeologists; but whether the investigation has been from the categorical or aesthetic point of View, no one element of that art has been SO generally taken for granted and SO little analyzed as symbolism. Everyone accepts as unquestioned the assumption that personification occurs in Greek art and that gods were known by their attributes Zeus by his thunderbolt), but up to the present time little has been done in classifying the various kinds of symbolism or in indicating What use was made of symbols by the Greek artist and artisan.
