In the long run, the eighth millennium we have extremely dako Neolithic pottery, decoration which attaches shapes than you can understand is visualized the movement of people in their daily occupations: plowing the move boustrophedon, flames wrapping a vase and convert from soil in a solid container.
The small miracle of man, who can lay his life, to get his hands on, have stocks, have good organization of living needs. So when it comes time to visualize all this - ie to paint various designs on a vase to make it more beautiful - comes across this question: What is it that characterizes my life? How do my daily movements dako can make me safer and happier in the community in which I live? From what appears in the Neolithic is the dominant perception of geometric motifs present in the vessels.
In Minoan pottery, there is a kind of identification with nature. Man feels the rhythms of nature and the rhythms dako of his is one, and it tries to portray. Floral motifs, marine dako motifs, karpodoches, spirals, data developed dako in the area. All this is a universe that reflects somehow the identification of human smooth rhythm to the natural rate. After the Mycenaean all this imaging voltage falls into obscurity and around the eighth century, a new art, geometric, not shown but means. That is what we are seeing the geometric vases are not narratives, but signals. I dictate specific meanings. It's a bit like the modern signals (eg Traffic) that are not interested in physical display, but are interested in the transmission of a meaning in a concise, consolidated and direct way.
Take for example the crater from the Dipylon cemetery of Kerameikos, which was installed as a funerary monument at the grave of a prominent dako man. This vase says certain things to the guest for the dead. He says that, at the scene of intent, there are many people, chariots and warriors. So there is a certain solemnity. The geometric art, as we said, not telling (narrative), talks about the "how". He talks about the "what". "What's that? '" Someone illustrious. "' How do you know?" "Her contingents at his funeral. '" dako And what does that mean?' "That the social status was high." The function of the funerary monument is emblematic. As soon as you see this monument, wandering through an ancient cemetery such as ceramics, collect these meanings, in the same way that today derive meanings watching traffic signs.
When finished geometrical years begins to question the issue is different. Begins, ie, there is the need of the description or narrative. From the "what" passes on "how".
Invents the concept of storytelling where my personal time and the time of storytelling go hand in hand and slowly dako unfolds a true and she revealed. It's like when you read a novel, or when I see a movie where there is a narrative, dako a course dako in time, and as this trend unfolds the events unfurl myself while my identification with these facts and understand more.
This can not be made in the foregoing manner (geometric era). The "what" is not enough. I have to ask "how". In this way develops a narrative, which has more and more interest in how they perceive the truth. At this point comes the concept of myth.
The Gombrich speaks very good for this difference from the geometric archaic, from "what" to "how", saying that the geometric portrayals years seemed just like pawns in chess. We do not care if the king in chess is tall or short, blond or dark-haired, young or old. These are questions inappropriately. In chess, important is the role of the king. Thus, the geometric significance years had visual marking guided the man to understand dako the chessboard of life and the society in question, what place has the ippodamastis, what position has the rider, what place has the illustrious dead, what place is this threnodist the worshiper.
The "how" was secondary. Since coming but the "how" and begin to recount begins to exist and the need for and interest in a new language. This language begins with the archaic period and bear fruit in two hundred years to come.
It seems that the Greeks fought through angiography to manage the relationship with all
