다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

A great amount of the informations about the Greek Mythology come from the written documents. But we are not accessible to the real world of the creators of the Mythology and their society, because the informations are very limited not only in quantity, but also in quality. How can we get more informations to know about the real life of the ancient greeks who created the world of Mythology that had influenced a lot in the Occidental World? In this article we have investigated why we have to study the Greek Mythology through Images. This will be an analysis of the Images according to the New Archeological Approach. In case of the informations about the god of wine, Dionysus, the written documents have a tendency of informing us unilateral aspect of the god of parties. But, the god does not represent the unilateral aspect, but symbolize the diversity in deed. If we study the meaning of Dionysus with the images reflected in the vases of the early Greece, Dionysus represents as the images or symbols of passions and emotions of the human being. But, after passing the time the god of wine became an object for the religious reverence and glorification. Some aspects of Dionysus of the early Greece do not exist in the aspects of the later Dionysus. With an example of the analysis of the images of Dionysus reflected in the plastic arts, we can notice the importance of an analysis of the images, because the images represent much more informations than the written documents do.
