Abstract
Framed within a more extensive investigation to review the iconography of Dionysus and the Dionysiac environment, this contribution is a joint presentation of the data of the texts and images of the archaic period regarding Dionysus and his relationship with snakes. And the goal of this review is twofold, since on the one hand, seeks to highlight the importance of analysing jointly the information from texts and images, because it is clear that both media present different figures of the god, and secondly seeks to focus attention on a small aspect of Jhe complex and concrete Dionysiac iconography: the figure of the snake, one of the animals that appear in relation with the god. This concise text and image analysis shows that the relationship of snakes with Dionysus has indeed scarce relevance in both media in the archaic period, being limited practically to the presence of the god in the Gigantomachy.
