⚜️The Thracians were a mysterious group of tribes who occupied the southeastern part of Europe. They spoke an Indo-European language. One theory indicates that the Thracians were the original inhabitants of this area, another relates them to the tribes in West Asia and others claim that the Thracians formed through the mixing of the original population in southeastern Europe and migrant tribes from Asia (Scythians). One thing is for certain – the Thracians left a deep mark on the cultural development of the European civilization. They influenced both the Greek and Roman cultures and it is even believed that a great share of the Greek and Roman gods and mythology is impacted by the Thracian beliefs and rituals.

Fondé sur une double approche iconographique et textuelle - plus de mille œuvres et près de trois cents textes latins et grecs en constituent la base - ce livre situe pour la première fois les Sirènes antiques et médiévales au sein d’une histoire globale. Cette mise en perspective qui inclut aussi une approche anthropologique, permet d’appréhender cette figure archétypale dans son unité profonde tout en rendant compte des formes paradoxales qu’elle a pu revêtir. Mais au-delà de l’histoire du mythe et de ses variantes, des croyances magico-religieuses qui y sont associées et des interprétations philosophiques et morales dont il a fait l’objet, cette étude présente surtout l’originalité d’évoquer le passage de l’Antiquité païenne au Moyen Âge occidental chrétien au moyen d’une image-symbole qui apparaît comme un révélateur de mentalités particulièrement éclairant.
