Publisher's Summary
The ruined silhouette of the Parthenon on its hill above Athens is one of the world's most famous images. Its 'looted' Elgin Marbles are a global cause celebre. But what actually are they?
In a revised and updated edition, Mary Beard, award-winning writer, reviewer and leading Cambridge classicist, tells the history and explains the significance of the Parthenon, the temple of the virgin goddess Athena, the divine patroness of ancient Athens.

Wonderful
Really enjoyed it. Thoroughly recommended. Beard takes a look from a number of different perspectives, beyond the depth of scholarship she delivers a fresh, engaging and insightful book.

History written at its best.
Humourous historical romp from Classical Greece to the modern era. Insightful views on such an important monument.
