Description

Explore a new perspective on the ancient world with Image and Idea in Fifth Century Greece: Art and Literature After the Persian Wars. Published by Routledge, this work presents the Wayneflete Lectures delivered by Professor Francis at Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1983. This book challenges traditional views of ancient artistic and literary productions. Professor Francis argues that the ancient world functioned as a unity, where the language of sculptural representation and pictorial art reflected the pressing issues of the era. By examining how these elements connected, the text offers a deep look into how literature and art worked together during this period. Readers will gain insight into the pan-Hellenic construction of temples and the ways in which the culture expressed its identity through various media. This is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in how the visual and written words of fifth-century Greece shaped the understanding of their society.
