Book Description: Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College & Princeton University Press,, Hanover, NH & Princeton, NJ, 1992. 227 pp. Profusely illustrated (some in color). 4to, cloth. A fine HARDCOVER copy in a fine dust wrapper. While the Olympics, because of their modern revival, enjoy the greatest fame today, in ancient Greece other religious festivals were equally elaborate and impressive spectacles. This book is the first devoted to the most important of these festivals to be held in ancient Athens, THE PANATHENAIA, which was founded in 566 BC. Performed in honor of the city's patron goddess, Athena, this complex ritual incorporated many elements of the more established Greek festivals in an attempt to vie with them in stature and importance. In addition to the standard athletic events, THE PANATHENAIA included musical competitions, poetry recitations, team sports, and tribal contests such as boat races and torch relays. What particularly distinguished THE PANATHENAIA is that works of art were commissioned and awarded as prizes. Surviving in numerous examples are the large painted vases, known as Panathenaia amphora. The athletic contests depicted on these vases were executed by the finest painters in Athens and are the best extant illustrations of Greek sport. Although women were excluded from the competitions, they had an important role to play in the weaving of the PEPLOS, an elaborate textile that took nine months to produce. The culmination of the festival was a long procession bearing this new robe to the cult statue of the goddess; the procession in turn was the subject of another great work of art, the PARTHENON FRIEZE. Combining art, spectacle, and civic consciousness, the Panathenaia contributed to the development of the high classical style of Periklean Athens. This lavishly illustrated volume deals with all aspects of this multi-faceted festival and serves as a catalog for the exhibiton of the same name. Essays by eminent classical scholars examine in depth the musical and poetic competitions (H.A. Shapiro), the athletic and equestrian contests (Donald G. Kyle), the peplos (E.J.W. Barber), and the evolving image of Athena as documented in sculpture from the Akropolis (Brunilde Sismondo Rigway). Jenifer Neils, the curator of the exhibition has contributed an introduction to this vivid portrait of the PANATHENAIA and the worship of Athena in ancient Athens. Bookseller Inventory # 5987a
