E.D. Francis held that the ancient world was a unity in which
concerns of the day were reflected in literary works and the
language of pictorial and sculptural representations. His theories,
which challenge contemporary views of Attic civilization and its
artistic and literary productions, were presented as the
prestigious Waynflete lectures at Oxford in 1983 and are published
here for the first time. IMAGE AND IDEA IN FIFTH CENTURY GREECE
constitutes the first book-length application of the controversial
dating of fifth century Greek art pioneered by Francis and Michael
Vickers. If Francis' arguments are correct, the pan-Hellenic
construction of temples, erection of dedicatory statues, and the
general joie de vivre to be found in the artifacts of the late
archaic period can be seen as physical manifestations of Greek
victory over the Persians in 480 and 479. Embodying some of the
principal arguments for the importance of Persian influence on
Greek art and civilization, IMAGE AND IDEA has important
implications for our understanding of Attic culture.
