Gods and Myths of Antiquity

From 31 Jan 2012 to 30 May 2012

1 February - 31 May. An exhibition examining the divinities, myths and cults of the inhabitants of the Iberian Peninsula from the fifth century BC until the arrival of the Visigoths in the fifth century AD.

The Greek, Phoenician and Punic peoples that settled there continued the tradition of worshipping the gods of their lands of origin.

Divided into three sections, the first part of the show focuses on Greek and Oriental cults, the second is devoted to the religious beliefs of the indigenous Iberian peoples, and the third highlights the presence of Roman gods and cults in Iberia prior to the Visigoth arrival.
