Content descriptions
| General Note: | "Few places have enjoyed a history so rich in artistic creativity and the making of ideas as Athens; or one so curiously patterned by alternating cycles of turbulence and peace. Writing with scholarly rigor and undisguised affection, Bruce Clark brings three thousand years of Athenian history vividly to life." -frontispiece. |
| Bibliography, etc. Note: | Includes index. |
| Summary, etc.: | "Even on the most smog-bound of days, the rocky outcrop on which the Acropolis stands is visible above the sprawling roof-scape of the Greek capital. Athens presents one of the most recognizable and symbolically potent panoramas of any of the world's cities: the pillars and pediments of the Parthenon--the temple dedicated to Athena, goddess of wisdom, that crowns the Acropolis--dominate a city whose name is synonymous for many with civilization itself."-- |
