This is the only comprehensive account of the Parthenon pediments
in English and the first in any language since 1963. It serves as
an up-to-date introduction to their study and includes new
proposals for the restoration and interpretation of their
composition. Debate on the Parthenon pediments has concentrated on
the interpretation of individual figures, the restoration of the
missing parts and the question of Roman repairs. The present study
is based on autopsy and considers the evidence of technical
details. It questions the attribution of certain familiar pieces
and offers new suggestions for restoring the east pediment. All
sculptures are illustrated, some with photographs taken especially
for this book, and there are new drawings of the restorations
proposed by the author. Chapter 1 is a general introduction to the
study of the pediments. It includes an assessment of the
documentation and a summary of stylistic and technical
characteristics of the sculptures. Chapters 2 and 3 treat each
pediment separately. The discussion of individual sculptures is
incorporated in a continuous narrative which sets them within the
context of the overall composition.
