Summary

This volume presents the proceedings of a conference hosted by the American School of Classical Studies, Athens and the Deutsches Archaologisches Institut, Athens in 2004. There are additional contributions from Patricia Butz, Robin Osborne, Katherine Schwab, Justin St. P. Walsh, Hilda Westervelt and Lorenz Winkler-Horacek. The contents are divided into four sections - I. Structure and Ornament; II. Technique and Agency; III. Myth and Narrative and IV. Diffusion and Influence. Highlights include Robin Osborne's discussion of 'What you can do with a chariot but can?t do with a satyr on a Greek temple'; Ralf von den Hoff's consideration of the Athenian treasury at Delphi; and Katherine Schwab's presentation of 'New evidence for Parthenon east metope 14'. The papers not only cover a great variety of issues in architectural sculpture but also present a range of case studies from all over the Greek world. The result is an important collection of current research.
