Assuming no prior knowledge, this book introduces the reader to a
selection of sites and temples, exploring them in detail and
explaining all technical terms along the way. Intended for
college-level students and the interested general reader, this book
aims to equip the student of Greek architecture for further study,
and can also serve as a handbook for visitors to the sanctuaries.
The book covers many of the most popular sites, including Delphi,
Olympia and the Athenian Acropolis. In this second edition there
are new chapters on Western Greece, covering the site of Paestum in
Magna Graecia (South Italy), and the unique temple of Olympian Zeus
in Acragas, Sicily. The book also offers a concise account of the
evolution of Greek architecture, explores aesthetic ideas
underlying Greek architectural design, and gives consideration to
specific buildings in their social and religious context. This
second edition has expanded the discussion of the most important
temples and lays emphasis on architectural sculpture as part of the
meaning of the whole building. Along with an updated bibliography
and a glossary, an abundance of plans, photos and drawings helps
clarify the text.
