The definitive work on the monuments of ancient Athens and Attica
In this book, a leading authority on the archaeology of ancient
Greece presents a survey of the monuments-first chronologically and
then site by site. John M. Camp begins with a comprehensive
narrative history of the monuments from the earliest times to the
sixth century A.D. Drawing on literary and epigraphic evidence,
including Plutarch's biographies, Pausanias's guidebook, and
thousands of inscriptions, he discusses who built a given
structure, when, and why. Camp presents dozens of passages in
translation, allowing the reader easy access to the variety and
richness of the ancient sources. In effect, this main part of the
book provides an engrossing history of ancient Athens as recorded
in its archaeological remains. The second section of the book
offers in-depth discussions of individual sites in their physical
context, including accounts of excavations in the modern era.
Written in a clear and engaging style and lavishly illustrated,
Camp's archaeological tour of Athens is certain to appeal not only
to scholars and students but also to visitors to the area.
