“A Mask Looking Towards the City and the Valley”: Observations on the “Charonion” in Antioch
This paper presents several observations regarding a rock-cut relief situated on the mountain above Antioch on the Orontes. Due to its correspondence to a passage in John Malalas’ “Chronographia”, the monument came to be known as the “Charonion”, dated to the reign of Antiochos IV Epiphanes; however, the historicity of this evidence is disputed in scholarly literature. The relief is examined in its setting in the landscape and urban context of An…
“Ludus Naturae”: Shells as Sculpted Motifs in Ancient Greek Art
In this article, I trace the various ways Ancient Greek artisans used seashell-motifs, and how they interpreted these natural forms in artistic contexts. The reason for the popularity of seashells lies in their visual and haptic variety, their wealth of association, and the device of something secret hidden under the hard outer shell. I examine three possible variants of the motif’s treatment in relief and volume: the shell-container as part of a…
The Structure and Meaning of Janiform Images in Greek Art (6th – 4th Centuries B.C.)
The article focuses on the structural and semantic characteristics of “janiform” images in Greek art of the 6th –4th centuries B.C. Composite depictions of two connected heads (which can be either different or identical), facing in the opposite directions are conspicuously “artificial” constructs. They are created to express a particular relationship between two entities. In this article, I propose four types of connotation in “janiform” imagery:…
Ancient and New Interpretations of Anatolian Rock-cut “Thrones”
The article focuses on three rock-cut “thrones” in Anatolia: a stepped altar in “Midas City” (Phrygia), the monument of Hartapu on Kızıldağ, and the so-called “Throne of Pelops” on Mount Sipylos (Lydia). These monuments are united by similarities in their structure and location in special even “spectacular” environments. Their context in the landscape is analyzed, mainly through the visual senses: what could be observed from the monuments’ vantag…
