Interpreting the monuments of athens in light of literature, r. E. Wycherley brings before us the city the ancients knew. Philosophers, statesmen, travelers, dramatists, poets, private citizens--the words of all these suggest how the city looked at various periods, how its monuments came to be built, and how they served the people in daily life. Professor wycherley concentrates on the classical period, illustrating his work with plans, reconstructions, and photographs. Originally published in 1978.
