Essa dissertação de Mestrado trata das relações entre as transformações nas representações dos vasos áticos de figuras vermelhas do IV século a. C. sobre os Mistérios de Elêusis, e as transformações sociais ocasionadas pelo conflito bélico do Peloponeso do V século a.C. Partindo dessa relação, e seguindo a proposta de Henri Metzger, as mudanças identificadas nas representações vasculares do ciclo eleusino estão intrinsecamente ligadas às transformações sociais, religiosas, políticas e econômicas do IV século em Atenas. Essa dissertação se divide em questões teórico-metodológicas relativas à analise e interpretação das imagens nos vasos; a compreensão dos Mistérios; a contextualização social, econômica, política e religiosa de Atenas no IV século e por fim a analise das imagens do ciclo eleusino. / This work deals with the relations between the changes in the Eleusinian figuration of the Athenian red-figure vases in the fourth-century B.C. and the social changes related to the fifth-century Peloponnesian War. Our departure point lay in the proposition made by Henri Metzger that the changes identified in the images of the Eleusinian Mysteries are strictly connected with the social, religious, political e economic changes of the fourth-century Athens. This text is divided into theoretical-methodological questions about the analysis and interpretation of the images on vases; the comprehension of the Mysteries itself; the social, economical, political and religious contextualization of fourth-century Athens and finally the interpretation and analysis of the Eleusinian images.

The thesis argues that Neopaganism on the Web is an example of mythopoesis and aims at showing both the novelty and the limits of such mythopoesis. I use the term "mythopoesis" in its original Greek meaning, i.e. "the creation (the making/crafting) of a myth or myths", thus stressing the dynamic way in which the process of creation (of myths, rituals, divinities, identities—all implicitly or explicitly played out, connected, and organised as "stories", which can be told, written or performed, as well as represented as images) unfolds in Neopaganism. Neopagan mythopoesis on the Web is new, original, and structurally different from other previous and contemporary examples of mythopoesis, either religious or not, since it does not refuse, put aside, or implicitly contradict, the rational framework elaborated by Western culture. The research involves exploring the contemporary cultural and historical context that allows for mythopoesis to take place and the technology that allows for it to develop. It analyses the key features of Neopaganism on the Web as they emerge from the mythopoeic recreation of two ancient goddesses (Gaia, and Artemis/Diana) and an ancient ritual (the Eleusinian mysteries). In covering several different fields (from ancient religions, to the Internet, to myth and ritual theory), and in examining a range of heterogeneous materials (from ancient texts, Neopagan hymns and art, to hypertexts), the analysis adopts an interdisciplinary approach.
