Review

"Written by a scholar with a sensitive eye for the Greek landscape and a firm grasp of architectural principles, Rhodes's interpretive essay is enjoyable reading. For the beginning student it will serve as a thoughtful introduction to one of the most impressive religious complexes ever created..." Jenifer Neils, Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians

Book Description

Robin Rhodes's sensitive analysis is the first to consider the buildings and sculpture of the Acropolis as a whole and to explain how they communicate meaningfully with one another to form an iconographic narrative. He relates the buildings to larger issues in Greek architecture and aesthetics.
