The Acropolis (Archaeological Guides)

As the title implies, this book covers the Acropolis only, and doesn't speak to the Agora or others. It does go in detail into the history of the Acropolis, the mythology, and then focuses on the architecture and artwork. This book discusses the sculptures in considerably more detail than the other books in the series. It's several decades old, but the Acropolis hasn't changed much since the 80s; the only real impact is that this dates to before the new Acropolis museum was built.

After visiting the Acropolis last year, this book provides a good overview of the site and its history.

Very helpful and in good condition. Glad to have it before my trip to Athens.

Complements my Greek Library collectionCould have contained more content

Stunning book. Lots of info. Fantasticly written. I would only reccomend it if you have a brief knowledge of the ancient greek history but its a stunning read.
