mmmh - might this be meant by the auctor(s)? And should it be given in geometrical style? or atavistic classical? hellenistic overwhelming? no - i don't think, that's the sense of the shield-descriptions. Since Homer and (Pseudo-) Hesiod and also by Maro these shield-descriptions go in an own dimension maybe, take off from the battle-stories in a 90° angle, but they are not optical, for view, vor the eyes; but it remains the question, what they are. We won't find an archaic picture of the shield; but what kind of imagination do these magic "descriptions" of a time-panorama mean? Dream-sphere like Jakobs blessings in the end of genesis? don't know, but never, never that is to realise in a picture, neither archaic nor geometric, absolutely forbidden as "classical" painting, no, no painting, no picture, an imagination maybe for the inner "epic" memory, a panorama of times. grusz, hansz > ----------------------------------------------------------------------- > To leave the Mantovano mailing list at any time, do NOT hit reply. > Instead, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message > "unsubscribe mantovano" in the body (omitting the quotation marks).
