Cornelis Van Poelenburgh - ‘The Feast of the Olympians’.
Cornelis Van Poelenburgh’s painting ‘The Feast of the Olympians’. This painting complements my posting as it shows the twelve key Greek gods. The fact that there are twelve ‘key’ Greek gods depicts the sheer multitude of gods or god-like beings in the Ancient world. The image also clearly shows Zeus at the head of the table, which introduces us to the work of Detienne and Vernant, who pioneered work on the structuralism approach to the polytheistic nature of Ancient Greek Religion (which can be seen in their work Cunning Intelligence in Greek Culture and Society. Hassocks. 1978) and attributed the success of the pantheon to the structure within it. However, there are some issues with this approach to the pantheon and one of those is the goddess Aphrodite, as she does not sit comfortably in either of the two ‘generations’ of deities. Although Aphrodite is almost an anomaly in the structuralism approach she is still a very typical Greek goddess in the fact that she is split into many different epithets (a topic which will be further explored in my posting on anthropomorphism). The use of epithets gave the deities many different personas and some were even regarded as deities in their own right - this splitting up of the gods increased the number of worshipped beings into the hundreds, showing the truly polytheistic nature of the Ancient Greeks. Rosenzweig’s text Worshipping Aphrodite: Art and Cult in Classical Athens (Michigan: University of Michigan Press. 2004) is a good piece of research into the attributes and epithets of Aphrodite.
Alongside the gods, heroes and heroines were often worshipped by cults after their death, with the likes of Herakles embodying both categories as he became a god after his heroic life. Minor figures important to particular localities were also worshipped, as well as other divine creatures, such as nymphs.

Louis-Marie-François Jacquesson de la Chevreuse (né à Toulouse le 5 novembre 1839, mort à Paris en 1903), est un peintre et compositeur français du xixe siècle.
Il remporte en 1857 le second grand prix municipal de peinture à Toulouse. Formé d'abord par son père, lui aussi peintre, puis élève de l'École des Beaux-Arts dans les ateliers de Flandrin, Ingres et Gérôme, il présente une Entrée du Christ à Jérusalem au concours d'esquisse peinte de 1860, et une figure du Contentement au concours de la Tête d'expression en 1861. Il remporte le Prix de Rome en 1865 sur le thème d'Orphée aux Enfers (Toulouse, musée des Augustins). Le musée de Toulouse conserve également son Portrait d'Émilie Borelli (1867). Il peint en 1871 une copie de la Vierge aux donateurs de Van Dyck, pour orner l'église de Saint-Beauzély (Aveyron).
Il se consacre surtout à l'enseignement de l'art, jusqu'en 1880, et devient aussi compositeur de musique.
