Investigating Greek painted iconology by using artificial neural networks. Maenads and satyrs on athenian red-figure pottery

This study aims at exploring both the identity of the maenads and their multiple interactions with the satyrs on Athenian red-figure vases by presenting the preliminary results of an ANN-based analysis applied to a dataset of 114 vases representing 478 figures (maenads and satyrs). The encouraging results seem to confirm the highly significant role of ANN-based methodologies as innovative tools fo…
