Les mythes gréco-romains sont révélateurs des croyances et des conceptions mentales des Anciens. À ce titre, le dépouillement des récits mythologiques apparaît comme un axe de travail à la fois pertinent pour analyser les rapports entre Voir et Savoir et novateur car cette approche des schèmes de pensée de l’Antiquité permet d’aborder un aspect de l’homme grec qui n’a que peu été étudié jusqu’à maintenant. Vingt mythes et leurs variantes, formant un corpus de plus de cent textes regroupés autour d’une trentaine d’auteurs, constituent ainsi l’entrée d’une enquête sur le rôle de la vue dans la connaissance et abordée sous différents angles : que pouvait-on voir du divin ? Quels étaient les interdits ? Comment les mythes véhiculaient-ils les valeurs des Anciens ? Dans quelles mesures participaient-ils à la construction de l’homme grec ? L’ensemble répond à l’objectif principal consistant à mieux cerner pour mieux les comprendre les conceptions mentales des Anciens. / Greco-Roman myths Ancient people’s beliefs and mental conceptions.

The whole answers the main objective consisting ofbetter grasping Ancient people’s mental conceptions to understand them better
