The institution of the pantheon has come a long way from its
classical origins. Invented to describe a temple dedicated to many
deities, the term later became so far removed from its original
meaning, that by the twentieth century, it has been able to exist
independently of any architectural and sculptural monument. This
collection of essays is the first to trace the transformation of
the monumental idea of the pantheon from its origins in Greek and
Roman antiquity to its later appearance as a means of commemorating
and enshrining the ideals of national identity and statehood.
Illuminating the emergence of the pantheon in a range of different
cultures and periods by exploring its different manifestations and
implementations, the essays open new historical perspectives on the
formation of national and civic identities.
