This volume offers an overview of the Parthenon from antiquity to the modern era. Recent discoveries, such as the marble sculpture fragments found during the current restoration work on the Acropolis, or a vase excavated in Northern Greece whose decoration echoes a lost pedimental composition, have forced scholars to reconsider many aspects of one of the most important monuments of classical antiquity. Bringing together essays on various aspects of this worldrenowned temple, this book examines the dramatic setting of the temple and its impact on modern architects such as Le Corbusier; new reconstructions and interpretations of Pheidias vast sculptural program; indepth analysis of architectural refinements; the techniques employed in making the colossal goldandivory cult statue; and a consideration of the Christian and Muslim phases of the Parthenons history. Collectively, they enhance our understanding of one of the icons of Western art.
