ODYSSEUS WITH A TRIDENT?
THE USE OF ATTRIBUTES IN ANCIENT GREEK IMAGERY*
Joannis Mylonopoulos
he notion of asemos
State inancial problems were not a rarity in Greek history—or any his-
torical period for that matter. But if resources were limited, the resource-
fulness of those who wanted to obtain money was not. At the end of the
irst century bce and in the beginning of the irst century ce, many cities
in the Greek East were facing severe inancial problems. One of the most
imaginative solutions for solving such a capital shortage is epigraphically
attested for the Rhodian city of Lindos. In the year ce, the Lindians
were unable to aford the upkeep of public sacriices and festivals in their
city. A very long decree refers to the various strategies for dealing with
this problem and ofers an invaluable insight in the various ways a com-
munity was treating sacred property. Lines to are of particular inter-
est, since they describe the fate of a special group of statues on the Lindian
acropolis:
And since there are some statues (andriantes) along the ascent and on
the top itself, which are without inscription (anepigraphoi) and undis-
tinguished (asamoi), it is expedient that these too shall be distinguished
(episamous esti), bearing inscriptions saying that they are dedicated to the
gods, it was voted by the Lindians: when this decree has been sanctioned,
the same epistatai shall lease out the inscription of each statue, the Lin-
dians deciding by vote whether the winning bid should be conirmed or
not, and if it will be decided that the winning bid should be conirmed,
they (the epistatai), ater having made an account of the rate for which
the inscription of each statue has been ceded, shall hand over the money
accrued from these to be sacred to the fund of Athana Lindia and Zeus
Polieus. hose who have purchased the inscription shall not have the per-
mission in any case not under any pretext to remove statues from the top;

the use of attributes in ancient greek imagery
had become illegible.3 However, the fact that Dio uses the expression
asemos andrias in opposition to gnorimos andrias allows the assumption
that asamoi andriantes were indeed statues of undistinguished character.
In addition, the term anepigraphos would certainly have referred to
all the various modes of inscribing a statue base. he asamoi statues
must have been both those without a distinct, thus, without an easily
recognisable physical appearance and those without speciic attributes.4
Andrias is certainly not designating honorary statues in an exclusive
manner; S. Bettinetti demonstrated that the term andrias can specify
representations of both humans and gods.5 One of the earliest attestations
of this word appears in the dedicatory inscription of the colossal statue—
convincingly interpreted as an image of Apollon6—set up by the people
of Naxos beside the so-called oikos of the Naxians on Delos.
his intriguing Rhodian inscription raises the fundamental to this
article question about the signiicance of attributes and their use or even
absence in respect to the visual characterisation of images. But what
exactly is an attribute? Can we label every object and every animal in the
hand or next to a depicted divinity or mythological igure as an attribute?
Is the club in the hands of Athena or Iolaos an attribute contributing
to a better understanding of the essence of these igures? Does it really
help the viewer to recognise them? Or are they just holding it while
Herakles, the hero actually and normally connected with the club, is
using his own hands or a weapon other than his club against monsters
and wild animals?7 Is the club in the hands of Herakles an attribute and
in the hands of Athena or Iolaos just a piece of wood? Furthermore, do
3 Blanck , : “. . . auch solche, deren Inschrit durch Schwund der Farbe in den
Leventi (and the review in Gnomon , , –); on the contrary a nude
Aphrodite can be recognised as such even without an inscription or accompanying
attributes.
5 Bettinetti , –.
6 See most recently Giuliani , .
7 Especially in the visual narrative of the irst labour, the Nemean Lion, Iolaos oten
of the Cretan bull presents an intriguing case, since two clubs are depicted: one on the
ground behind Herakles and one held by Iolaos who is physically a copy of Herakles. he
signiicance of the attribute’s duplication remains puzzling.
8 Woodford , –.
9 Boschung , –. In Homer and Hesiod, gods and goddesses and their respec-
tive attributes are already established entities, but these literary concepts do not ind an
exact correspondence in visual art as early as this.

the use of attributes in ancient greek imagery
16 On the interesting case of Zeus’ sceptre that was venerated in Chaironeia, see
Pirenne-Delforge’s paper in this volume. On Athena’s owls, see Monbrun with ample
bibliographical references to the earlier research on the topic.
17 Carpenter , : “An object can only be called an attribute when there is a
in a non-Dionysian context would have placed this speciic kind of vase among the hero’s
attributes such as the club or the lion’s skin that are not situational, but moreover almost
ixed part of the hero’s constructed visual identity. For example, winged boots can be
part of the visual identity of Hephaistos, but only in the very speciic narrative context of
Athena’s birth, Schefold , ig. . hus, the winged boots are only a situational
attribute of Hephaistos explaining and visualising the angst of the god and its need to
leave the scene of the wondrous birth as fast as possible.
19 In this context, the symbolic explanations of objects and animals that can func-
Cyclops, while the torch and the short chiton are presents of Zeus. According to Pseudo-
Apollodoros (Bibl. ..) Herakles received a sword from Hermes, a bow and arrows
from Apollon, a golden breastplate from Hephaistos, and a robe from Athena. Only his
club he had himself cut at Nemea; for the divergent traditions on the creation of the
Heraklian club, see infra n. . On the contrary, in the Homeric hymn to Apollon (Hom.
hymn .–) the young god demands the lyre and the crooked bows as his own.
the use of attributes in ancient greek imagery
prominent cases for attributes presented as git is that of the winged cap
and sandals, the harpe, the kibisis, as well as the shield, which Perseus
received according to the literary sources from Hermes, Athena, and the
Nymphs.21 Every single attribute is a git to Perseus.22 he iconograph-
ical interconnections between Perseus and Hermes are striking—partly
also because of the similar attributes like the winged sandals23 and from
/ bce the winged cap. Only the existence of further attributes like
the harpe or the kibisis for Perseus, the kerykeion for Hermes, and some
diferences in the clothing can help in securely diferentiating between
hero and god, especially in black igure scenes of Gorgo’s decapitation, in
which Perseus is oten still depicted bearded and sometimes with a peta-
sos. By the end of the sixth century and far more oten during the ith
century, Perseus is depicted holding the harpe.24 herefore, this attribute
constitutes the most reliable feature for identifying with certainty an iso-
lated igure wearing a winged cap with Perseus as in the case of several
squat lekythoi depicting Perseus in form of a bust (ig. ).
Most ancient authors were simply agnostic or disinterested in the sym-
bolic meanings of attributes. his “interpretive” attitude is best expressed
in an interesting passage in Pausanias’ Periegesis. While visiting Elis, Pau-
sanias describes a chryselephantine statue of Aphrodite made by Pheidias
that stood with one foot on a tortoise and a bronze one of the same god-
dess sitting on a he-goat. Although Pausanias is perfectly aware of the
unusual iconography of the images, he simply states: “the meaning of the
tortoise and of the he-goat I leave to those who care to guess”.25 Never-
21 he relevant ancient literary sources can be found in Jones Roccos , –.
he shield presented to the hero by Athena appears, however, very late in the visual
conception of the hero.
22 Schauenburg , – ofers a brief overview on the attributes associated with
Perseus.
23 Gialouris , – makes the interesting observation that the oldest and most
numerous representations of a heroic or a divine igure with winged sandals are those
of Perseus, thus, the iconographical material apparently contradicts the existing literary
evidence. In order to explain this alleged anomaly, however, Gialouris reconstructs an
epic poem in honour of Perseus (a Perseïs) by the Korinthian poet Eumelos, which could
have inluenced the iconography of Perseus. Recently, Marconi , f. convincingly
argued for the (neglected) early importance of Perseus as a hero closely associated with
travel and “colonial experience”. It would certainly be fruitful to reconsider Perseus’
iconography by taking into account this important aspect as well.
24 Schauenburg , –.
25 Paus. ..: τ: δ π6 τED χελAνEη τε κα6 ς τ7ν τργον παρ"ημι το$ς λουσιν
ε,κζειν (Translation W.H.S. Jones). In the case of Demeter Melaina, Pausanias reveals
a slightly diferent attitude referring to well-known traditions that explain the unusual
physiognomy and attributes of her statue in Phigaleia, Paus. ..: φK τRω μν δB τ7
joannis mylonopoulos
theless, the same author is more than willing to ofer a brief explanation
for the peculiar rooster on the helmet of the chryselephantine statue of
Athena on the acropolis of Elis, an image allegedly made by Pheidias: “on
her helmet is an image of a cock, this bird being very ready to ight. he
bird might also be considered as sacred to Athena the worker”.26
Perhaps the most intriguing ancient explanation of a speciic mode of
representing the divine is Lukian’s reference to the Celtic Herakles. Ater
having described Herakles Ogmios as an extremely old, bald-headed
man with wrinkled sun-burned skin, Lukian stresses the fact that the
painted image is nevertheless Herakles “from head to heel as far as that
goes”, because it is equipped with the attributes of Herakles: the lion’s skin,
the club, the quiver, and the bent bow. he most bizarre element was,
however, that a considerable number of men were shown following the
hero chained to him from their ears by means of golden fetters attached
to his tongue. A Celt explained to the puzzled Lukian the unusual image
of the hero in the following way:
I will solve for you the riddle of the picture, stranger, as you seem to be
very much disturbed about it. We Celts do not agree with you Greeks in
thinking that Hermes is Eloquence: we identify Heracles with it, because
he is far more powerful than Hermes. And don’t be surprised that he is
represented as an old man, for eloquence and eloquence alone is wont to
show its full vigour in old age . . . if old Heracles here drags men ater him
who are tethered by the ears to his tongue, don’t be surprised, you know
the kinship between ears and tongue . . . in general, we consider that the
real Heracles was a wise man who achieved everything by eloquence and
applied persuasion as his principal force. His arrows represent words, I
suppose, keen, sure, and swit, which make their wounds in souls.27

the use of attributes in ancient greek imagery
28 Hafner . Borg , – is not categorically rejecting the existence of this
image, but she is, nonetheless, strongly questioning the idea that Lukian is actually refer-
ring to a real painting. According to Borg, the image of Herakles Ogmios represents most
probably a part of Lukian’s literary strategies that reveal his preferences for personiica-
tions and the theme of the arts’ contest. Even if we accept Borg’s well-founded scepticism,
and regardless of whether Lukian might have been both the creator and the exegetes of
the puzzling image or not, his text still remains not only an important example for liter-
ary ekphrasis, but also a major illustration of an eloquent interpretive approach to the use
and signiicance of divine attributes in Graeco-Roman antiquity.
29 On the contrary, Turner , argues that “the problem of identiication and of

pate the Praxitelean group of Hermes with the Dionysos child even more
closely than has been already suggested.35 In any case, the statue group
of Eirene with the Ploutos child and its reception in contemporary art
clearly demonstrates how ambiguously attributes were used and under-
stood in antiquity: the sceptre and the bunch of grapes seem to have been
interchangeable already in the very early artistic responses to the newly
created image.36

puts one into the middle class. Lower classes could not aford donkeys.

cance of the kerykeion as a commemorative symbol of the Greek victory over the Persians
at Mycale, see Knauer , –.
42 Among gods and heroes, Herakles is perhaps the one igure with the most extensive
iconographic variability in the weapons he uses (sword, club, bow and arrows, trident,
his own hands). He actively uses bow and arrows mainly against the Stymphalian birds
and Geryoneus, see Brize ; Kaeser , ig. .; Brinkmann b, ig. .. In
the east pediment of the Aphaia temple on Aigina, Herakles is also depicted as an archer.
On an Apulian volute-crater in Ruvo, Herakles is depicted wearing a winged hracian
helmet and holding a shield, Sichtermann , – no. . However, the hero can be
securely identiied, for all his usual attributes (Nemean lion’s skin, club, bow, and quiver)
are shown lying on the ground in front of the hero.
43 Schouten , –; Holtzmann .
44 On the iynx as a small bronze wheel used in love magic, see Gow ; Pirenne-
Delforge ; Graf , –; Pironti , –. Turner , – clearly
demonstrates that the bird iynx (wryneck) accompanies Aphrodite in several scenes on
South Italian vases. In addition, Turner makes a strong case for the identiication of the
isolated female heads on the same category of vases accompanied by a bird (most probably
an iynx) with Aphrodite.
45 Mylonopoulos , –.
46 For example, for Libanios (Or. .) drought and earthquake were the most severe
dangers for the existence of a city, and therefore Zeus and Poseidon were the most
venerated divinities.

Protokorinthian alabastron (Florence, Mus.Arch. inv. no. ), but a bronze relief
found in the Heraion of Samos in and dated around bce shows the hero for
the irst time in Greek art with his head actually covered by the lion’s head, Brize ,

48 See, for example, Kokkorou-Arewras , – no. (Herakles wearing the
lion’s skin in the garden of the Hesperids), no. (Herakles sitting on the lion’s skin).
here are of course depictions of Herakles sitting on a cloak with the lion’s skin being
totally absent (no. ).
49 According to authors such as heokritos (Idyll. .–: τ7 μν α!τ7ς .π7
can be identiied only on the basis of the club, although the general mythological context
remains thanks to the apple tree clear (compare, however, the youth behind the standing
Hesperid who has a similarly muscular body and sits on a cloak of the same type like
Herakles), Kokkorou-Arewras , no. . On heseus and his club, see Gunnel

bce (Schulze , ig. .); b) intaglio in Naples (Mus.Naz. ), irst cen-
tury bce (Boardman , no. ). It is noteworthy that bronze clubs could be dedi-
cated to Herakles, as examples from Gela and Apollonia clearly demonstrate. Manganaro
suggests that such votive oferings had an additional apotropaic character, since evi-
dence from Gela and Delos shows that Herakles was obviously considered the protector
of private houses.

55 Unfortunately, this is not the place to discuss the iconography of the winged potnia
theron and her connection to Artemis.
56 Bažant a, : “in appearance, activity and attributes there is no diference
between Pothos and other companions of Aphrodite”. For example, on a red igure pyxis
in London (BM E, ca. bce), Aphrodite is shown on a chariot drawn by two winged
youths identiied as Pothos and Hedylogos only thanks to the accompanying inscriptions,
Bažant a, no. ; Borg , ig. .
57 höne , fn. : “sofern Attribute oder Kontexte im Bild fehlen, kann es sich
bei gelügelten weiblichen Wesen in der griechischen Kunst ebenso um andere Gestalten
handeln, allen voran um die Götterbotin Iris sowie um Eris, Eos, Nyx und mitunter
Artemis”.
58 Bažant b, –; Mintsi ; Giudice ; Oakley , –.
59 Mintsi , suggests that the replacement of the stele through a tree serves “à
souligner que la scène se déroule en plein air”. he visits at the grave are always taking
place outdoor, so that an additional accentuation through a tree would be redundant. I
believe that the tree enhances the heroic character of the dead already manifested through
the presence of Hypnos and hanatos. Trees or sacred groves are oten associated with
graves of heroes, Mylonopoulos b, –.

60 Bažant b, no. (Hypnos is the igure with the red-brownish body) and
agus discussed below, while both no. and are coins depicting a head wearing a
winged helmet and not a winged igure. On no. , Perseus is probably depicted.

63 Anti , – and Kron , – understand the scene as a depiction
of Athena Aithyia carrying the body of the dead hero Pandion from Athens to Megara,
while Vermeule , takes the dead male to be a simple unknown warrior.
64 A winged igure with shield on a red igure Klazomenian sarcophagus (Berlin Inv.
) has been identiied with Athena, see Zahn , – ig. . he iconography is,
however, not quite distinctive, and the igure is not shown in the characteristic moment
of carrying away a deceased, thus, adopting the iconography of a death demon. Cook
, pl. . with n. clearly opposes this identiication and considers winged
igures on Klazomenian sarcophagi as a generic “type from the artistic repertory” and
suggests that attributes such as spear, shield, or helmet were nothing more than symbols
of “a military ambit”.

are associated with the journey to the underworld, are shown winged.66
Even the four unnamed igures on a late sixth century bce black ig-
ure amphora in Munich (Antikensammlungen, inv.no. ) depicted
pouring water into an oversized pithos besides Sisyphos with the stone
are winged.67 Furthermore, death-bringing monsters like Gorgo are also
shown winged. In order to explain the image on the Attic olpe no models
from Asia Minor are really needed, for the painter obviously had struc-
turally similar images from his own Athenian Bilderwelt already in his
mind.
Moreover, some of the wooden sarcophagi from Pantikapaion dating
to the late irst or early second century ce were decorated with plaster
decoration in the appliqué technique. One of the recurring topics was
the murder of the Niobids. Among the surviving igures, the so-called
pedagogue is inexplicably shown with wings.68 W. Geominy explained
the unusual depiction of the winged pedagogue suggesting that the wings
would visually imply that the igure had “visionary qualities”.69 H. Schulze
rightly rejected this identiication, but did not ofer an alternative.70
he winged igure that accompanies the murdered Niobids must be
explained as a death demon. It could be the case that in the narrative and
visual context of the Niobids’ murder on the wooden sarcophagi from
Pantikapaion, we are dealing with a visual bricolage of the igure of the
old pedagogue with the winged death demons.71
heriomorphism in cult is actually not an omnipresent traditional fea-
ture of Greek religion, and yet there are still some examples of theri-
omorphic or partly theriomorphic deities. he already mentioned Pan
and Acheloos worshipped all around Greece as well as the horse-headed
Demeter Melaina and the ish-bodied Eurynome with their cult statues in

tations in such scenes. See also Vollkommer and Tsiafakis , –.

71 On so-called Roman Endymion sarcophagi, the winged igure pouring a potion on
the sleeping Endymion is sometimes of the same iconographic type like the winged ped-
agogue on the wooden sarcophagi from Pantikapaion. he igure is usually interpreted as
Hypnos or a Hypnos-like creature. See, for example, the sarcophagus in he Getty Villa

72 In this respect, a small group of seal impressions found on Delos is very character-
istic of the imaginative attitude towards the visual constructions of the divine during the
Hellenistic period: on these impressions Eros is depicted with an anthropomorphic upper
part and a lower part in form of a scorpion, Stampolidis , – pl. XLVIII.-
XLIX.. Already during the Archaic period Cypriote limestone igurines of a ram-headed
male deity sitting on a throne were dedicated in sanctuaries in Ialysos, Knidos, Lindos,
Miletos, and Samos, Mylonopoulos a, –. On the so-called snake-legged god
and his possible association with Judaism, see Nagy .
73 Barringer , – traces some intriguing interconnections between the
not shown holding the trident—ater all either a weapon or a ishing instrument—should
not puzzle us. Even if gender could be indeed considered a parameter for Amphitrite’s
visual dissociation from the trident, the fact that even Aphrodite can be conceptualised
as a fully armed war-like divinity demonstrates that gender only cannot possibly explain
the complete separation of the trident as a symbol and attribute from Amphitrite.
77 Numerous examples can be easily found in the respective LIMC-volumes.
78 here are also some depictions of Zeus holding the trident, see for example Tiverios
only hero who has challenged the revengeful god and survived to tell the
story. We are dealing with an ironic comment on Poseidon’s powerless-
ness83 and the inscription guarantees that the viewer understands that
the male igure lying across the sea with the trident in his hand bears
a striking resemblance to Poseidon, but he is not the god! It is further
striking that on the other face of the vase, Odysseus wears his typical
pilos and no inscription accompanies the igure: the hero’s iconography
and the visual narrative, Kirke holding a skyphos in front of a loom,84
leave no room for misunderstandings. Obviously, artists used attributes
as an intellectual play that fulilled a similar function as the rare words
in Apollonios and Kallimachos or the atypical mythological allusions in
Lykophron. An unusual attribute could become the subject of discussion
among the participants in a symposion, while a cup full of wine was being
passed around from kline to kline. his reminds us that the presence of
attributes was connected with the type of object and with the contexts in
which this object was used. he example of the Cabirion class cup shows
that the study of attributes requires the approach of both the art historian
and the historian of cultural contexts.
Finally, more of a local Attic character is the tight connection between
Triptolemos and the tut of grain that primarily characterises Demeter. In
respect to Triptolemos, this attribute works both as a visual designation
of his role in spreading the expertise in agriculture and as a point of
interrelation between him and his protectress.85 In some rare instances
attributes can even visualise a blood relationship, like in the case of
Telephos shown wearing the lion skin just like his father Herakles in the
west pediment of the Athena Alea temple at Tegea. As A.F. Stewart has
already stressed, the Nemean lion’s skin can be seen in this context “as
an attribute of what one might call ‘aspiring Heraklids’ ” and Telephos is
certainly “the most heroic of the Heraklids and the most like his father”.86
83 Lowenstam , suggests that “Odysseus, as the model initiate appears in this
image emancipated from his former travails, indeed enjoying the privilege of those that
had harried him in the past”. For Lowenstam, the Kirke scene on the other side of the vase
symbolises the initiation to the mysteries of the Cabiric mysteries. He recognises in the
Odysseus-Boreas-scene the salvation that resulted from the initiation. he uniqueness
of the scene among the Cabirion class vases does not support the assumption that the
image of the huge bellied Odysseus lying over the sea holding a trident is an allusion to
salvation.

galeia remains an intriguing example that perfectly reveals how innumerable the local
variations in the construction of the divine in ancient Greece really were. he wooden
statue was depicted seated on a stone (a possible reference to the agelastos petra in Eleu-
sis?) and the goddess had the head as well as the hair of a horse (a reference to her violation
by Poseidon), while several snakes and other beasts grew out of her head (a visual refer-
ence to Medusa and her association with Poseidon?). In her hands she held a dolphin
and a dove (references to Poseidon and Aphrodite?); Paus. ..: πεποιDσαι δ ο^τω

kithara and far more infrequently the lyra should be associated with musical contests
that Peisistratos introduced into the Panathenaea. See also Shapiro , – and
Schmölder-Veit .
93 Ritter , –. It is unclear whether Herakles and the Muses belonged to the
same statue group already in Ambrakia. Since Plinius (Nat.hist. .) only refers to
the Muses as part of the Ambrakian booty, there is a slight probability that the group
was indeed Nobilior’s reinvention for the Roman viewers. Ritter, however, argues for the
Greek origins of the constellation Herakles and the Muses.
94 he kerykeion as an attribute can be used both to characterise the general function
of a herold (huk. .: ?δοξεν οGν α!το$ς *νδρας ς κελ)τιον σβιβσαντας *νευ

both cases the delivery of a message is the central aspect, but Nike with the kerykeion
concretely delivers a message about victory. On Nike holding a kerykeion, see höne ,

Jupiter Aigiochos shows Zeus actually wearing the aegis around his neck
and covering the chest area and the upper part of the abdomen (ig. ). In
a life-size marble statue of an apparently young god was excavated
in Aigion on the Peloponnese (ig. ). he god is shown naked except for
the aegis and the gorgoneion covering most of the upper part of his body.
Just on the basis of the aegis the statue was identiied in a preliminary
publication with Zeus, especially since, besides Athena, he is the only
divinity to be so closely connected through myth with the aegis.105 In
Aigion, Zeus was prominently honoured as Zeus Pais.106 Alternatively,
the statue could have been a theomorphic representation of a Roman
emperor in the habitus of a locally conceived Zeus Aigiochos.107
Almost inexplicable is, however, the scene on a black igure amphora
from the end of the sixth century bce in the British Museum (inv. no.
B) depicting a male and a female in a quadriga (ig. ). he female
wears the aegis, so that an identiication with Athena based exclusively on
the iconographic evidence provided by this speciic attribute would have
been the next thing to suggest. Her male companion would have been
most probably Poseidon.108 Inscriptions in genitive109 accompany both

109 On an Athenian red-igure cup by the Euaion painter (Brussels, Bibliothèque Royale

reads “Demetros”. Similarly, an inscription reading “[K]ores” appears to the right of a
female igure pouring a libation over one of two altars on a white-ground kylix by the
Villa Giulia painter. Are we dealing with priestesses “belonging” to the deities referred to
in genitive, as suggested by J. Connelly (Connelly , –)? Or, do the inscriptions
specify that the viewer is confronted with images of a deity and not the deity herself, thus
making a rare ontological distinction?

plate with the depiction of a goddess wearing a helmet and the aegis, whom I would
identify with Athena. Villing also discusses a fragment of a sixth-century Korinthian
pyxis with the depiction of Hera (accompanied by an inscription) wearing a garment
similar to an aegis. It seems to me that the garment is simply decorated with a ish
scale pattern. here are, of course, representations of Aphrodite in the context of the
Gigantomachy that show her fully armed and aggressively ighting in a quite Athena-
like manner. However, in these cases the narrative context explains the habitus, see, for
example, Shapiro , pl. c.

118 On Aphrodite’s political aspects, see Pirenne-Delforge , –; on the god-
sibility that the goddess depicted on the amphora could have been Aphrodite Pandemos:
“Aphrodite Pandemos was conceived as a goddess riding on a goat, which animal has in
this connection a phallic signiicance. Possibly this is a clue to the amphora in the British
joannis mylonopoulos
Despite all uncertainties, the images discussed so far are thanks to the
context or the attributes or both explicable, if not always distinguishable.
here is, however, a number of divine or heroic igures that have either no
or very general attributes, so that their identiication can sometimes be
even impossible. In this respect, some early depictions of the judgement
of Paris are perhaps the most striking case. Although we are perfectly
aware of the mythological context and the concrete depicted moment,
it is absolutely impossible to distinguish between the three goddesses.120
Was this perhaps the aim of the painters? Did they wish to depict that
Paris’ decision had in fact nothing to do with the physical appearance of
the three goddesses?
In addition, Hades, Hestia, or Ares certainly belong to those divini-
ties that are not depicted frequently. In the case of Hades the lack of
attributes complicates his secure identiication that in most cases can be
achieved only thanks to an accompanying inscription or the context.121
Ares normally shown as a hoplite can be mistaken for a mortal, if he
is not identiied beyond any doubt through an accompanying inscrip-
tion.122 We are confronted with the same interpretive problems when it
comes to igures like Maia, Leto, Hygieia and even Hera. Especially the
Museum (Cat. of b.-f. Vases B ) which represents Poseidon riding in a quadriga with
‘Aphrodite,’ who wears an aegis”. Although I am convinced that Cook was right in iden-
tifying the goddess with Aphrodite Pandemos, I disagree with the quite simplistic expla-
nation he ofers for this unique association of Aphrodite with the aegis. Pirenne-Delforge
, – argues for a cult of Aphrodite Epitragia in Athens, who was certainly shown
sitting on a he-goat. It was perhaps Skopas who connected the iconography of Aphrodite
Epitragia with the cult of Aphrodite Pandemos: a bronze statue of an Aphrodite sitting on
a he-goat he created for the people of Elis was called by the worshippers Aphrodite Pan-
demos, Paus. ... here is no indication that the iconography of Aphrodite Pandemos
before the Eleian statue of Skopas was associated with the motif of the goddess sitting on
a he-goat.

shown holding their respective attributes, the trident and the thunderbolt, Lindner ,

the use of attributes in ancient greek imagery
case of Hera is indeed a puzzling one, for she is normally shown with
a stephane and sceptre. However, both attributes can be connected with
other female deities and even humans of royal or priestly status.123 In
most cases the context (for example Hera sitting besides Zeus) allows a
secure identiication. It is interesting that on the famous white ground
kylix in Munich by the Sabourof Painter dating around – bce an
inscription accompanies Hera (ig. and ).124 Did the painter want to
demonstrate that he was a person capable to write or did he want to play
it safe and avoid any misunderstandings about the exact identiication of
his masterly painted igure? he famous white ground kylix by the Villa
Giulia Painter in New York (MMA, ..) brings to light the visual
ambiguity of Hera’s imagery, since the standing female holding a scep-
tre and a phiale at an altar has been identiied on equally well-founded
arguments both as Hera and as a priestess (ig. ).125
Besides this more or less athenocentric series of images, a bronze
statue (about cm high with its plinth) dating to the second half of the
sixth century bce and found next to the central stone pedestal inside a
Doric temple near the ancient city of Metropolis in southwest hessaly126
demonstrates the ambiguity of attributes in the process of the visual
construction of the divine in an artistic environment outside Athens. he
igure wears a conical helmet, a bell cuirass, as well as greaves. Originally
it held weapons in both hands, that are now lost, although remains of
an object resembling a spear were found near the pedestal. he general
iconography of a hoplite visualised through the martial attributes would
suggest that we are dealing with a temple for Ares, but inscriptions
from the site attest beyond any doubt that the temple was dedicated to
Apollon.127 he most famous cult statue of Apollon showing him with
helmet, spear, and bow was that of Apollon Amyklaios outside Sparta

anticipates the puzzlement of an Athenian viewer right in its beginning. he sacred ship
of the epigram has been identiied with the one shown in the background, while the
man holding back the beast is most probably personifying the friends who protected
Antipatros. he lion (the λων or ε,χρολων of the epigram) has been interpreted either
as a literal reference to Antipatros’ cause of death: attacked and killed by a lion, or as a
death demon (Clairmont , –). I consider Stagers interpretation of the lion as
a theriomorphic representation of Aphrodite Ourania / Astarte Shemayim (Stager ,
–) most unconvincing. In my view, the lion symbolises Antipatros’ deadly fate,
but is more than a simple death demon; it represents the threat that for some reasons the
body could have got lost (a shipwreck?) and thus could not have been buried properly.
he friends of Antipatros—obviously—did not win the battle over Antipatros’ death, but,
as stated in the epigram, protected the body, brought it to Athens and gave it a proper
burial. I think that the ship in the background points to a shipwreck as the cause of
Antipatros’ death and that the “architecture” of the scene (Antipatros’ body, the lion, and
the lion’s opponent create a triangle) was purposefully chosen, so as to match the well-
known heroic scenes of two soldiers or mythical heroes ighting over a dead body in the
battleield.
136 Anthologia Graeca .. he lengthiest description of the statue ofers the fourth
Several literary sources between the third century bce and the twelth
century ce present descriptions of the celebrated statue,137 but they don’t
ofer a completely congruent picture of the Lysippian original, as has
been repeatedly stressed.138 For example, the scales, which are a common
feature of the visual representations of Kairos are only referred to by the
fourth-century-ce orator Himerios.139 he beardless youthfulness of the
igure is stressed only by Kallistratos and Himerios,140 while the visual
tradition preserved both beardless and bearded igures of Kairos.141 Only
the winged feet, the razor, the long hair at the front, and the baldness at
the back of the head are common points of reference between the two
categories of sources.142 Regardless of the question about the reliability
of our literary and iconographic evidence as well as the primacy of the
visual over the textual sources or vice versa, all our evidence clearly
demonstrates that such a complex igure like the Lysippian Kairos could
only be visually constructed thanks to and based on an accumulation
of various sophisticated attributes. Even if the ancient and byzantine
Greek literary discourse does not refer to every single attribute present in
the preserved archaeological sources, it does, nevertheless, illustrate how
intensively people would think about the use and meaning of attributes.

explain the essence and allude to the properties of a igure, they make it
recognisable, distinguishable, or at least they attempt to do so. hey tell
a whole story without using thousand words. But still, attributes are not
always as precise as an epiclesis: Artemis Phosphoros can be depicted
bearing torches, but Poseidon Hippios is not exclusively shown riding a
horse, but in most cases holding a trident. And yet, even the ambiguity or
the absence, for that matter, of attributes can be and was actually applied
as a meaningful and conscious artistic means. he early depictions of
Paris’ judgement that present the three goddesses in a generic manner
without any individual characteristics make a point that goes beyond the
simple rendering of a myth: they visually comment on Paris’ decision
making, for neither the goddesses’ physical appearance nor their gits
would have made any diference. he decision was already taken by a
power that is not even present, namely by Zeus. he scene of the woman
holding a sceptre and sacriicing on the kylix in New York (ig. ) plays
with its own ambiguity and invites the viewer to think about the identity
of the puzzling igure: is she Hera, is she a priestess, or is she a priestess
pretending to be Hera? he visual equation of Odysseus’ igure with
Poseidon on the Cabirion class cup in Oxford (ig. ) and the explicit
identiication of the igure as Odysseus through an inscription create and
dissolve ambiguity at the same time, and as a result, they challenge the
viewer to try and understand the artist’s motives. Attributes can be more
than simple signs of identiication, although their main purpose surely
was the deinition of a igure’s most important ontological features.
In the context of visual perception and communication between image
and viewer, attributes are an important and yet only one part of a whole
complex of visual strategies. he context remains the most fundamen-
tal parameter for identifying a divine igure: on vase paintings the co-
depicted igures, the broader mythological context of a scene delivers the
decisive clues for the identiication of a divinity that cannot be named
immediately on the basis of its attributes. Not every divine igure is as
easily distinguishable as Athena. In respect to statues centrally placed in
the middle of a temple’s cella, attributes were deinitely not necessary for
identifying the divinity in antiquity; every ancient visitor knew exactly
which temple he/she was actually visiting. Attributes were, however, in
this context the initial point for relecting upon the conception of the
divine: Why is Apollon Patroos on the Agora of Athens a mousikos aner?
Why is Apollon in the hessalian Metropolis a hoplite? Why does Deme-
ter in Phigaleia have a horse head, snakes instead of hair and holds a dol-
phin as well as a dove in her hands? Pausanias is once more one of the
the use of attributes in ancient greek imagery
