Paperback. Condition: New. The Prytaneion: Its Function and Architectural Form explores one of the most significant yet architecturally elusive civic structures in ancient Greece. The prytaneion, a central building in Greek city-states, functioned as a political and ceremonial hub, yet its architectural form remains ambiguous due to limited surviving archaeological evidence. Despite frequent references in Greek literature-from Plato's Apology to Roman-era texts-only three securely identified prytaneia have been excavated, making its architectural reconstruction a challenge. This study aims to define the essential characteristics of the prytaneion by analyzing literary, epigraphic, and archaeological evidence, thereby establishing a clearer typology of its form and function. The book systematically examines historical testimonia to determine the key architectural elements that the prytaneion would have required to fulfill its civic role. It also compares these findings against the limited excavated examples to discern common features and possible variations. Like the stoa, another recognizable Greek architectural type with multiple variations, the prytaneion likely exhibited a standard set of features-such as a central hearth for the sacred fire, dining areas for official banquets, and a location within or near the political heart of the city. Through this methodical synthesis, the study provides a framework for identifying prytaneia across different Greek city-states, enhancing our understanding of its role in ancient governance and urban planning. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1978.
