Greek mythology plays a huge part of modern day. It is the basis on which a great number of films were written and produced, and has also played a huge part throughout the history of literature. But perhaps the easiest way to see Greek mythology through the ages is in art; statues, paintings and ancient clay pot paintings. In this essay I am going to discuss how the Greek Gods were portrayed in ancient artwork and how that has changed over time, how symbology was used in ancient paintings and if it has affected later artworks, and how significant Greek mythology is in more modern art. I have studied a range of artworks, as well as quotes from re-written myths and from artists, to bring together conclusive evidence to support the answers for my questions.
