5.0 out of 5 stars
A Thorough and Fresh Look at Ancient Greece's Acropolis,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Athenian Acropolis: History, Mythology, and Archaeology from the Neolithic Era to the Present (Hardcover)
Jeffrey Hurwit's compelling way of introducing the reader to an Ancient Greek marvel is both fun and informative. You learn anwsers to things you would personally want to know like "Could the average Greek enter the Parthenon?" A great "bread and butter" book to have on hand if you are at all interested in art or architecture.

A comprehensive reference book on the Acropolis,
By Diotima "Mantinea" (Western Australia) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Athenian Acropolis: History, Mythology, and Archaeology from the Neolithic Era to the Present (Paperback)
This book distils generations of research and provides up-to-date information.My only quibble is that the author accepts the art historians' view on the refinements in the Parthenon rather than having presented a practical architectural examination of the building. Otherwise it's a tour de force. One more thing: don't be put off by the out of focus photograph on the cover. |
