In this book, Alessandro Pierattini offers a comprehensive study of
the evolution of pre-archaic Greek temple architecture from the
eleventh to mid-seventh century BCE. Demystifying the formative
stages of Greek architecture, he traces how temples were
transformed from unassuming shrines made of perishable materials
into large stone and terracotta monuments. Grounded in
archaeological evidence, the volume analyzes the design, function,
construction, and aesthetic of the Greek temple. While the book's
primary focus is architectural, it also draws on non-architectural
material culture, ancient cult practice, and social history, which
also defined the context that fostered the Greek temple's initial
development. In reconstituting this early history, Pierattini also
draws attention to new developments as well as legacies from
previous eras. Ultimately, he reveals why the temple's pre-Archaic
development is not only of interest in itself, but also a key to
the origins of the Greek monumental architecture of the Archaic
period.
