While part of the process involves conventional craftsmanship – moulding clay – this is not presented as sufficient.The act of animation is a distinct process,adding divine art to the human.For a god to animate a statue by breathing on it is no technique of human craft.This story rather draws on the association of breath with life and on the view of the divine as life-giving.In the Iliad Hephaestus’ tools not only move by themselves but seem to have minds:the handmaidens have rational attributes as well as human voice and strength.The selfpiloting ships in the Odyssey are likewise described as having minds rather than internal mechanisms that explain their abilities.Just as Hephaestus or Pygmalion can breathe life into a statue,Hephaestus and the Phaeacians can create living,thinking things.These stories are not about the capacities of ordinary technological devices,but about the mysterious and unanalysable ability of the gods to convey life.
Mythology ascribes a number of clever inventions to Daedalus,who is the archetypal craftsman.Because Daedalus is human – albeit with divine connections – it is less obvious whether his creative powers are understood to involve animation.Few of his artifacts have moving parts:the most plausible candidates for mechanical devices are the statues of Daedalus,which are said to need to be tied down lest they run away.These could be fanciful stories about animate beings.Although the comic dramatist Philippus suggests – apparently for comic effect – that the ‘quickening’ was achieved by pouring in quicksilver,this seems to be a later gloss on the story,which does not contain much to suggest that it is plausible evidence of a mechanical invention.Even in the fourth century the story had its sceptics.Palaephatus,who offers deflationary accounts of a number of myths,treats the story as an urban legend.He thinks it is based on the reputation of an innovative sculptor,whose lifelike figures startled onlookers accustomed to more stylized images.The poses were lifelike,suggesting motion,giving rise to a hyperbolic description that the statues of Daedalus could ‘get up and run away.’
