A propos de cet article

"The Parthenon Enigma challenges the traditional view of the Parthenon as a symbol of democracy, arguing its true meaning lies in a complex web of cultic observances and myth, particularly a human sacrifice, rather than civic celebration. Drawing on new evidence, including a lost Euripides play, to propose the frieze depicts the mythic sacrifice of King Erechtheus's daughter, Prokris, alongside the later Panathenaic procession, revealing a deeper, more ritualistic and less rationalist ancient Athens than commonly understood." Written by Joan Breton Connelly. First paperback edition, first printing. xxii + 494 pages; 8 pages of color illustrations + b&w illustrations throughout; 5.25 x 8 inches. Condition: Very Good+ paperback with light rubbing to the bottom edge and a touch of rubbing along one spine edge, otherwise only light signs of handling. Ships the next business day, wrapped in padding, in a box.
