Moving out from a particular problem about a particular Athenian
festival, the late Christiane Sourvinou-Inwood investigates central
questions concerning Athenian festivals and the myths that underlay
them. She studies the role played at festivals by hereditary
religious associations, showing how simple actions of undressing,
veiling, bathing, and re-dressing a statue created a symbolic drama
of abnormality, reversion to primeval time, and renewal for the
Athenians. Sourvinou-Inwood also offers a reading of the ever
controversial Parthenon frieze. Her book, brought to completion by
Robert Parker, displays all the attention to detail and the concern
for methodological rigour that have made her an iconic figure among
students of Greek religion.
