Entre Aidos y Peitho: La iconografia del gesto del velo en la antigua Grecia

Is there anything more mysterious than a piece of fabric covering something? Since the author of this book started noticing classical images with its young figures holding a veil while working in Pompeii, the study of this iconography has become his passion. This volume will focus only on Ancient Greece, but it explores a fascinating topic with strong connexions in current societies. The book will delve into the iconography of the veil gesture, but will also explore other topics closely related to it from an anthropological perspective.
