Periklean Athens and Its Legacy: Problems and Perspectives Hardcover - 2005

by Judith M. Barringer (Editor); Jeffrey M. Hurwit (Editor)


From the publisher

The late fifth century BC was the golden age of ancient Athens. Under the leadership of the renowned soldier-statesman Perikles, Athenians began rebuilding the Akropolis, where they created the still awe-inspiring Parthenon. Athenians also reached a zenith of artistic achievement in sculpture, vase painting, and architecture, which provided continuing inspiration for many succeeding generations.

The specially commissioned essays in this volume offer a fresh, innovative panorama of the art, architecture, history, culture, and influence of Periklean Athens. Written by leading experts in the field, the articles cover a wide range of topics, including:

  • An evaluation of Perikles' military leadership during the early stages of the Peloponnesian War.
  • Iconographical and iconological studies of vase paintings, wall paintings, and sculpture.
  • Explorations of the Parthenon and other monuments of the Athenian Akropolis.
  • The legacy of Periklean Athens and its influence upon later art.
  • Assessments of the modern reception of the Akropolis.

As a whole, this collection of essays proves that even a well-explored field such as Periklean Athens can yield new treasures when mined by perceptive and seasoned investigators.
