Mami Wata, moter water : la mère des eaux, la sirène, la déesse hybride, femme-poisson apparue et vénérée en Afrique au moment de la rencontre entre Blancs colonisateurs et Noirs bientôt colonisés. Objet d'un culte qui se répand bientôt dans toute l'Afrique occidentale et centrale, elle devient la déesse préférée des "femmes libres" des villes africaines post-coloniales, fait l'objet de rites propitiatoires, de magie noire et de sorcellerie, mais est aussi source d'espérance en une vie meilleure. Symbole de ces femmes libres qui effraient et fascinent, elle devient au Congo-Zaïre, à l'époque Mobutu et avec la montée du sida, l'un des thèmes dominants de l'art populaire congolais.

Myth was the single most popular source for picture making in antiquity. Greek and Roman artists faced a number of challenges in conveying stories in static images. Images of Myths in Classical Antiquity explores the ways that classical artists portrayed a variety of myths. It explains how formulas were devised for certain stories; how these inventions could be adapted, developed and even transferred to other myths; how new forms were created to reflect changes in interpretations; how one myth could be distinguished from another; what links there exist between myths depicted and with daily life and historical propaganda; and the influence of changing tastes, among other issues. Fully illustrated examples are drawn from a wide range of media used by the ancient Greeks and Romans. Striking a balance between serious scholarly research and accessible, nontechnical presentation, this book offers a fresh approach to Greek and Roman mythological illustration.
