In addition to gods and goddesses, Greek and Roman mythology is filled with many divine creatures. Some were deadly to humans, while others liked to play tricks. In this tour, we’ll look at a range of mythological creatures, including centaurs, satyrs, sirens, and Medusa, as they were featured on such artifacts as vases, funerary equipment, and wall paintings. Along the way, we’ll think about what role these creatures played in the daily lives of ancient Greeks and Romans.
