Abstract

Les rapports entre texte et image sont plus complexes que de simples vision et lecture simultanées, comme le montre l’étude de trois sculptures : le groupe des Tyrannoctones est investi d’une charge politique à Athènes qui lui fait jouer un rôle historique et le transforme en idéogramme ; les statues de Kléopatra et Dioskouridès à Délos relient les propriétaires de la maison au monde des notables évergètes grâce au mode de représentation et de présentation des effigies ainsi qu’à la dédicace ; la statue de Démosthène renouvelle le monument patriotique des Tyrannoctones en introduisant la réflexion dans l’action. ; The relationships between text and image are more complex than simple simultaneous vision and reading, as the study of three sculptures shows. The Tyrannocides group is invested with a political weight in Athens that gives them an historical role and transforms them into ideograms. The statues of Kleopatra and Dioskourides at Delos link the owners of the house to the world of notable euergetes (wealthy benefactors) due to the representational and presentational styles of the effigies as well as the inscription on it. The statue of Demosthenes updates the patriotic monument of the Tyrannocides by introducing thought or reflection into the action depicted.
