What does the clothing say about the killer? Some thoughts on textiles in depictions of sacrifice in Archaic Athens
Résumé
Attic vase paintings allow us to understand what clothing may have signified in cultic contexts in the 6th century BCE. Indeed, any detail featuring a vase painting points to a general discourse about reality, rather than to reality itself. Clothing, especially, may be seen as a polysemic sign used
to express various thoughts about the function and meaning of cults in Athenian Archaic society.
