为什么希腊彩绘花瓶对了解历史很重要?
既然你已经了解了希腊花瓶绘画,为什么你认为希腊花瓶对现代学者很重要? 他们能告诉我们关于过去的什么?
这里有一些建议让你开始:
- Vases are one of our most important sources on ancient Greece because we possess vast numbers of whole vases and fragments of vases from virtually every period of Greek history and a variety of locations.
- Moreover they were everyday objects used in a variety of contexts, for example, in the home, for entertainment, for civic functions, ritual occasions, and even for political purposes.
- Unlike literary sources, vases often provide information concerning the day-to-day lives of Greek and foreign men, women, children, and slaves. For example, vases show us mothers nursing children, women at the fountain, men at the symposium, sexual encounters, warfare, theater, trade and commerce.
- A large number of vases also portray mythological scenes that were popular. In many cases these complement and add to our knowledge of Greek mythology from other sources.
- Because these vases were relatively expensive they reflect not only the socio-economic status of the people using them but also the values and belief systems of their purchasers.
- Moreover, the distribution of Greek vases throughout the Mediterranean can tell us a great deal about ancient economics, trade, and patterns of settlement.
- Finally, the find spots and styles of Greek vases can tell the modern scholar much about intercultural contact in the ancient Mediterranean.
