256 pages : 32 cm. Includes bibliographical references (pages 253-254) and index.

The plates are very close up and detailed of what is left of the sculptures. There are some plates in color but most are fittingly in black and white, which may be best. These pictures allow detailed study of the work with close up multiple perspective shots that come close to enabling a three D sense of what the pieces look like now. There is a brief but interesting narrative to start and a summary of the sources used at the end. It is a heavy book.

The Parthenon on the Acropolis of Athens was built between 447 and 438 BC as a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena Parthenos. The word parthénos (παρθένος) meant ‘maiden, girl’ or ‘virgin, unmarried woman’. A reconstruction of how the Acropolis may have looked in ancient times, including the Parthenon.
