Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Written from an historical rather than archaeological perspective, this book dares to challenge the conventional wisdom about ancient Athens. The author argues that the city was not the simple collection of buildings surrounding the Acropolis as described by modern scholars. Instead, the ancient texts suggest a far more densely populated urban area filled with temples, public buildings, and bustling markets. Archaeological digs have failed to support the simplified version of Athens, but the author contends available evidence has been misinterpreted. This book presents new interpretations, including that of the Agora, the central public square, which are backed up by close readings of historical texts and analysis of surviving physical evidence. The book concludes with a critical assessment of the current state of Athenian topography and suggests directions for future research.
