Visualizing the Iliad

The aim of the papers brought together in this volume is to show how the Homeric text and the figurative representations can be complementary to each other, and how they shed light on each other. The Homeric poem has not only had a wide posterity in the literary tradition, but has also permeated a much wider artistic tradition and the diffusion of the iliadic influence on not only literary supports makes it possible to better understand the importance of the poem in ancient culture. We have tried to take into consideration the different modes of representation, giving a preponderant place to figurative, pictorial or sculptural representations, without forbidding ourselves to consider other representations such as theatrical representation.
