Abstract

The Provenance of the Three Wise Men Myth in arts remains unknown. Cinema has shown them following their most popular iconography as wise astrologers more than kings. Nevertheless in arts their image appears to be quite different, fairly complex. The most famous episode is the Epiphanys it was reported by Mathew the Evangelist and the Apocryphal Gospels.
