En Grande Grece, le bel Adonis a largement inspire les peintres, en majorite apuliens, qui ont illustre les differents episodes du mythe, dont la remontee des Enfers, assimilable au renouveau de la vegetation, theme en rapport avec la destination funeraire des vases.

Hormis l'arbre a myrrhe, qui lui a donne naissance, trois plantes sont particulierement associees a Adonis, le myrte, le laurier et le grenadier. Leur representation est le sujet de cette etude.
