Epitome [ɪˈpɪt.ə.mi], [i-ˈpi-tə-mē]: A summary of a written work, a book, a story; more specifically, of history.
The Epitome collection is born from a gamble: we asked top specialists to explain the essence of a question concerning Greece, from its origins till today. It allows the French School at Athens to utilize original research data in the most synthetic way possible and to promote the acquisition of knowledge to the widest possible audience.
In a short format, published simultaneously in English, French and Greek, this new collection aims to put within reach of all the keys to understanding the current challenges of Hellenism.

From the Back Cover
À Delphes. les fouilles ont livré depuis plus d'un siècle un grand nombre d'offrandes de bronzes archaïques qui place le complexe sacré au niveau des plus grands sanctuaires du monde grec. aux côtés d'Olympie ou de Samos. Plus que la quantité. c'est la diversité des objets offerts principalement à Apollon qui reflète la fréquentation intense et variée du sanctuaire avant son avènement panhellénique. Ce volume rassemble près de 200 documents du haut-archaïsme (fin VIIIe-VIIe s.) relevant de la vaisselle de bronze. qu'il s'agisse des supports de trépieds à cuve mobile. des appliques des chaudrons correspondant. ou des pièces de vaisselle de cette époque ancienne. Après une analyse matérielle. technique et stylistique de ces objets mal connus ou inédits. l'ouvrage les replace dans le contexte historique qui permet d’en comprendre l'importance pour l'évolution du sanctuaire de Delphes. Il donne un aperçu de la richesse des techniques. des gestes artisanaux et de la toreutique grecque nourrie par les emprunts extérieurs; il révèle les pratiques votives nouvelles qui se mettent en place à Delphes avant la structuration des concours pythiques et l'organisation du sanctuaire par l'Amphictionie. Il met enfin en lumière les apports du matériel métallique étudié à l'histoire du sanctuaire de Delphes.
