This review is from: The Stones of the Parthenon (Getty Trust Publications: J. Paul Getty Museum) (Paperback)
I am surprised to see that this book was published by the J. Paul Getty Museum. The book is based on the first part of "From Pentelicon to the Parthenon" published by Melissa Publishing House in 1995.I was expecting something similar to the scholarly "Ancient Egyptian Construction and Architecture" by Somers Clarke and R. Engelbach. But I was sadly dissapointed with "The Stones of the Parthenon" which is written in a narrative style and has line drawings suitable for children. It's just a novella describing the passage of one block of stone from the quarry to the Parthenon. Save your money for "The Athenian Acropolis" by Jeffrey M. Hurwit. |
