Document Summary
Cla219- lecture 4 - women in art and poetry the dates roughly for the poems and artworks. Definitions of goddesses and characters familiarize with passages from texts: peplos- kore statue - 520 bc (archaic era) Kore=maiden in greek, another name for persephone who was also known as kore. Peplos=a flowing garment like most art from the archaic times, the statue was very generic and rigid in form, less movement and emotion, less detail, but major detailing in hair pattern, more basic, has the passive archaic smile. Her hand could have held a spear. Shows grace (charis in greek) yet liveliness. Shows ideal aristocratic women of the time. Some say it is to honor athena. The female kore is clothed, the male kouros is not. It was initially painted with color but the color faded overtime. She was painted with geometric animal motifs on the peplos, the style at the time.
