Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the architectural history of the Acropolis through the surviving monuments of Classical Greece. The author, an established expert, combines evidence from the buildings themselves with insights from literary and archaeological sources. The examination begins with the Mycenaean period, progressing through the Archaic period into the Classical period when much of what survives was built. The centerpiece of the study is the Parthenon, regarded as the quintessential example of Doric order Greek temples. Through detailed examination, the author shows how the architects of the Parthenon employed subtle optical corrections to enhance the visual impact of the building. The book also delves into the storied history of the sacred site of the Acropolis, intimately linked to the development of Athenian society and the evolution of democracy.
