4.0 out of 5 starsGood basic introduction
By TammyJo Eckhart VINE VOICE on May 15, 2000
Format: Paperback
A good undergraduate source of the visual images that are one survival form of the classical myths. Basic information about ancient art gives the reader just enough knowledge to understand technically why certain traits appear, such as the different "color" of males and females. Packed with pictures, it is an excellent source for both classical studies and art history at the undergraduate level.

5.0 out of 5 starsinformative overview of ancient Greek art
By icebin on December 15, 2004
Format: Paperback
This is great as a nice introductory survey of artwork, some myth, and some history of ancient Greece. Carpenter divides the book into chapters and sections according to important characters (heroes, Olympian gods) and events (Trojan War and its aftermath). In each, he provides a good overview, brings in historical and contextual information to provide narratives to the relevant artworks he provides at the end of the section (which is rather inconvenient to have to keep flipping the pages if you don't know what he's referring to). Themes, characterization, attributes, trajectories etc etc can all found in this book which is quite compact for the amount of information it provides.

4.0 out of 5 starsThe book could be fantastic were there more headings and subheadings
By CrissCrossAppleSauce on October 12, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Comprehensive as it comes, but organized very poorly. Not accessible. Very hard to pick through. The book could be fantastic were there more headings and subheadings, an invaluable source for students and scholars.

Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I love this series as I've written before. This book was very in-depth on the history. The quality of the pictures is amazing. Every book I've gotten in this series have been on the money.
