Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed study of the history of the Acropolis, which was constructed on a rocky hilltop overlooking the city of Athens in the 5th century BCE. Integral to the development of Athenian democracy and the heart of religious life for the city state, the Acropolis served a crucial role in ancient Greece. Its story is one of grandeur, warfare, cultural evolution, artistic achievement, decline, restoration and preservation. The author explores the Acropolis' architectural legacy alongside the social and political dynamics which shaped its evolution, from the early fortifications in Mycenaean times to the destruction wrought by invading Persians during the Greco-Persian wars. Through the Golden Age of Athens under Pericles, the Acropolis saw the birth of iconic structures and sculptures including the Parthenon, which was dedicated to the goddess Athena, protector of the city. The story continues through the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman periods, and the subsequent years of restoration. This overview is a comprehensive guide to the physical, historical and cultural significance of the Acropolis. It covers themes such as the evolving role of the Acropolis over the centuries, its central role in the ancient polis, and the damaging effects of war and natural disasters, contrasted against the preservation and restoration processes that have in turn shaped its present state. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780259010081_0
