Summary

"As feast of design and construction, the great colonnaded Greek temples have never been surpassed. The best-preserved examples - such as the Parthenon in Athens or Paestum in southern Italy - still excite wonder and imagination. This book tells their story as a cultural phenomenon, following their spread as far afield as Libya and the Ukraine, stressing religion and politics as well as art and architecture, and later antiquity as much as classical Greece." "Written by a leading authority and illustrated with photographs, maps, plans and reconstruction drawings, this book is both a survey for tourists and travelers and an essential work of reference for students and scholars."--BOOK JACKET
