Greece From Mycenae to the Parthenon - Thryft

Visual odyssey through ancient Greek architectural marvels.

If you're fascinated by the grandeur of ancient civilizations, "Greece: From Mycenae to the Parthenon" could be your next great dive into history. The Stierlins bring you a vivid, well-researched journey across the Mediterranean, portraying Greek architecture not just as historical structures, but as artifacts telling the story of cultural might and artistic mastery. This book isn't just a study; it's an aesthetic expedition that marries the cultural and historical underpinnings of an era that has shaped much of the modern western world.

Description

From the superb mausoleum of Mausolus in Halicarnassus, stop by the shrine to Apollo at Delphi with its famous oracle, or pass through the imposing Lion Gate in Mycenae. This "picture book journey" takes us through all the important architectural sites in ancient Greece. "Noble simplicity, quiet proportions" was how the distinguished archaeologist Johann Joachim Winckelmann once described Greek culture, and the beauty of classical art certainly lies in its simplicity. This book is a comprehensive introduction to the architecture of perfect harmony and proportion, and a journey into the splendid art of the Mediterranean.
