SUMMARY: GRIFFINS, SPHlNX AND CENTAURS IN THE GREEK ART The beginning of Greek Civilization depends on the placement of Dors in Greek and establishment of City States since B.C. 10. century. Until the B.C. 700s when the Achae and Mycenae Cultures were destroyed, it is seen geometrical shapes on the vases of Greek Middle Age. The movement in the art began as a result of the effects of commerce with the East in B.C. 8. centruy and imitation of various motives. As a result of these effects in the Archaic age, the East motives were described according to the Greek style. In the classic Age, Athens and Sparta cities became powerful and the Greek righted with Pers in Ionia and Greece. In this Age the art was developed rapidly and mythological and daily life scenes were existes on the vases and statues. In the Hellenistic Age, the past was not forgetten but the more realistic and movable styles existes instead of depending on the strict rules. The structure types increased in the architecture. Stoas, gymnasium, libraries, theatre, bouleuterions and monuments of grave were constructed other than the temples. The various creatures that were seen in the Greek Art since B.C. 8. centruy had already been known in Egypt, Mesopotamia and Syria since B.C. 3000. These creatures occured when the Gods were shown in the shape of human. They were designed extra ordinarly to emphasize their Godness. Griffin, sphinx and Centaurs from these fantastic creatures were around the Gods. They were shown on the various work of arts in Anatolia, Crete and Greece. Griffin were seen firstly in Mesopotamia.
