Sometimes these media are in agreement about the story they tell, and that raises the question of their interdependence. In other cases the visual arts give a different version, and that makes us wonder about the artists' sources of inspiration. Were they dependent on an oral tradition which was far more widespread then, when the use of written texts was more limited than in modern Western civilisation, and which provided a background frame, including a shared fund of myths known to the patrons that commissioned works of art and to the artists that produced them? A study of the treatment of the myth of the complex figure of Iphigenia may elucidate the problem.
