This book is an abridged and revised edition of the author's monumental The Athenian Acropolis. It focuses on the development of the Acropolis in the fifth century BC and the building program initiated by Pericles. Jeffrey Hurwit explores the physical nature of the Acropolis itself, the character of the goddess Athena, and how the building program exploits and reveals the Acropolis's own venerable history. This edition is illustrated with 145 halftones as well as CD-ROM including 180 color images of the monuments of the Acropolis.
