  with Zoom link details once registered.A definitive feature of ancient Gr
 eek and Roman art and literature is the representation of a living being,
  composed of parts of more than one real, present-day species, such as t
 he part-horse, part-man centaur or part-fish, part-woman Skylla.  Althou
 gh the individual parts can be found in the natural world, the combinatio
 ns do not exist in nature. The popularity of non-existent creatures within
  the visual and literary arts of antiquity is surprising, because ancient
  aesthetic theory defined representation as mimēsis, or “imitation,” of 
 reality.  In my paper, I explore several different interpretations or exp
 lanations of composite creatures, in ancient and modern scholarship, fro
 m inside and outside of classical studies, such as narrative theory, cog
 nitive archaeology, and developmental psychology. I emphasize that compos
 ite creatures are fundamentally creations of visual representational pract
 ices, bodies that materialize through the processes of making particular 
 kinds of art for particular purposes. Guy Hedreen is Amos Lawrence Profess
 or of Art at Williams College, where he teaches the history of art, as w
 ell as the art, archaeology, literature, and culture of antiquity. He a
 lso teaches courses on the reception of the art and literature of antiquit
 y in the early and late modern periods.  His most recent book is The Image
  of the Artist in Archaic and Classical Greece:  Art, Poetry, and Subjec
 tivity (2016).  The present paper is part of a new book project, The Maki
 ng of a Monster: Art, Science, and Imagination in Greek and Roman Antiqu
 ity.*This event is co-sponsored by the AIA Toronto Society, Archeology Ce
