Abstract

This thesis takes as its subject sculptures from the Archaic Greek world which have accompanying inscriptions carved upon the figure itself, as opposed to on a separable base. This thesis will show how these inscribed figures are important evidence for the formulation of the relationship between Archaic Greek images and texts and have yet to be explored fully. This is for the purpose of better understanding the combination of media during this period which has mainly focussed on painted pottery or the rare few examples of funerary statues which have been paired with their original bases by modern arachaeologists which are mainly Attic. This thesis will propose a methodology with which one can dissolve the separation between the sculptural and epigraphic elements of these dynamic monuments to understand better the way in which these two media work together to make meaning through their juxtaposition, contrast, comparison and synergy. Furthermore, this thesis will show the ways in which temporal, spatial, cultural, and religious contexts not only play a part in the meaning-making of Archaic inscribed sculptures, but also how in turn how these figures play a part in creating their own contexts for their interactions with the percipient.
