Sphingen und Sirenen begegnen in Mythendarstellungen, in sog. Alltagsszenen, in handlungslosen Bildern und sogar im Tierfries. So verschiedenartig die Kontexte zu sein scheinen, so eindeutig gibt sich ihr ,gemeinsamer Nenner? zu erkennen, der die Themen Geburt, Adoleszenz, Hochzeit, Tod, Kriegers Aufbruch und Teilnahme am Fest miteinander verbindet: Es geht um Grenzen sozialer, zeitlicher und räumlicher Art, die es im Zusammenhang mit Statuswechsel und damit verbundenen Übergangsriten zu überwinden gilt. In vergleichbarer Weise symbolisieren die Mischwesen im Bildkontext einen Orts-, Zustands-, Positions- und Altersgruppenwechsel. Ihre Aufgabe besteht darin, eine Situation oder einen Raum, etwa Heiligtum und Grab, als ambivalent und als Ort mit Brückenfunktion zu kennzeichnen. Als Mischwesen stellen Sphingen und Sirenen eine Verbindung zwischen dieser und der ,anderen? Welt her. Dass diese Interpretation ihre Berechtigung hat, beweist die fundamentale Rolle von Gegensatzpaaren im Denken der vorsokratischen Philosophie. Sphingen und Sirenen galten weder als Monster, noch hielt man sie für bedrohlich oder todbringend.

"The Khmer empire, which at its height covered the whole of present-day Combodia and most of Thailand, flourished for over 500 years. At its heart was Angkor Wat, the largest religious monument in the world, built during the region of the Khmer king Suryavarman II, in the first half of the 12th century. The temple was dedicated to Vishnu, and its magnificent architecture mirrored in microcosm the entire Hindu universe. To enhance its sacred nature, over 600 metres of bas-reliefs were carved on the walls of the third enclosure illustrating battles and processions, Heavens and Hells and the creation myth." "The gradual reading of the reliefs as pages of an ancient book unravel the religious and secular symbolism with which Angkor Wat was imbued by the Khmers in the XII century. Aided by the photography of Jaroslav Poncar, Vittorio Roveda reveals the iconographic intricacies of this magnificent temple as never before."--
