  We provide a link between Anosov representations introduced by Labourie and
dominated splitting of linear cocycles. This allows us to obtain equivalent
characterizations for Anosov representations and to recover recent results due
to Gu\'eritaud-Guichard-Kassel-Wienhard and Kapovich-Leeb-Porti by different
methods. We also give characterizations in terms of multicones and cone-types
inspired in the work of Avila-Bochi-Yoccoz and Bochi-Gourmelon. Finally we
provide a new proof of the higher rank Morse Lemma of Kapovich-Leeb-Porti.
