Summary
For all that the monuments of classical Athens - the Parthenon and its sculptures above all - are best known, it is frequently the sculpture and pottery of earlier Athens (800-500 BCE) that grabs the attention of museum visitors. This book provides a comprehensive guide to what we know about the archaeology, artefacts, and history of archaic Athens. Author Robin Osborne offers a clear and well-illustrated description of all aspects of Athenian art, archaeology, and history, and demonstrates how the different stories that we tell about Athenian pots, sculpture, law, politics and culture all fit together.
