Abstract

This paper presents a debate about the landscape thinking of the Ancient Greeks, its characteristics and limits. It’s understood that the landscape is the locus of symbolic interactions among the subject, the territory and the environment which surrounds it. It’s assumed as a lived phenomenon, and ithas its cultural significance recognized, since it surpassesthe general idea which restricts it to a visual unit and to a background distanced from the life experiences. In the Ancient Greek World, the landscape is divided into three dimensions: natural, inhabited and mythical, which are interdependent and intertwined. Its borders are clearly demarcated with á½…Ïοι ”“ boundary markers ”“ and temples in order to communicate its narratives, access modes, uses and ritualistic codes, indicating a cultural, social and political order in an undifferentiated nature.
