Names, images, and narratives are intimately related and frequently polysemous. As pieces of information on the gods, they convey fragments of knowledge and attempts to interpret the multifaceted complexity of the divine world. In what Robert Parker describes as an “archipelago”, images and narratives are like compasses used to approach the mapping of the gods. The different contributions collected in this volume, dealing with the Greek and the Semitic worlds (the two main areas of the “Mapping Ancient Polytheisms” project), explore connections but also discrepancies between these different semantics, in order to highlight specificities and commonalities in the onomastic and iconographic languages.
Les noms, les images et les récits sont intimement liés et volontiers polysémiques. En tant qu’éléments d’information sur les dieux, ils véhiculent des fragments de connaissance et constituent autant de tentatives d’interprétation de la complexité multiforme du monde divin. Dans ce que Robert Parker décrit comme un «archipel», les images et les récits sont comme des boussoles qui facilitent la cartographie des dieux. Les différentes contributions rassemblées dans ce volume, traitant des mondes grec et sémitique (les deux principaux domaines abordés dans le projet «Mapping Ancient Polytheisms»), explorent les connexions mais aussi les divergences existant entre ces différentes sémantiques, afin de mettre en évidence les spécificités et les points communs entre langage onomastique et langage iconographique.
