Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to consider and discuss arguments related to the interpretation of the face veil in ancient Greece. It is based on the archaeological study of the two most important iconographic types of women with veiled faces, and offers interpretive indications to explain this practice. Sacred rather than profane as well as an everyday accessory, the face veil can be viewed as a good clue for the study of the status of women who wear it. It appears to be used in ceremonies related to female fertility. It is not necessarily the prerogative of married women, but rather a symbol of transition from nymphe to gyne, from woman to mother.
