The Parthenon in Athens is the most famous Greek temple in the
world and an icon of Ancient Greek art. It was built to house a
colossal statue of the goddess Athena, and the temple itself was
decorated with sculptures and reliefs of the most magnificent
quality. These sculptures are now on display in London and Athens,
and are admired by thousands of visitors each year. This book
explores in detail these lovely carvings, with the aid of new
detailed digital photography. Who are the people, animals, and gods
and goddesses shown on the frieze and what are they doing? Why were
they shown on a temple? How were the sculptures made, and how did
the carvers give such an amazing illusion of ranks of horsemen,
chariots and people in carvings only a few centimetres deep? Ian
Jenkins, a world expert on Ancient Greek sculpture, describes and
explains these wonderful sculptures in a vivid and simple way for
children, and puts them in the context of Ancient Greek religion,
life and art. Children will enjoy discovering the wonders of the
Parthenon sculptures for themselves but in the process they will
also gain a much greater understanding of the people who created
the Parthenon and of the world of classical Athens.
