"Opulent. . . . The hundreds of color photographs that overflow its pages exhibit uncontested masterpieces of Greek art in all their glory."-New York Times Book Review "The main point of appeal of Great Moments is the many images, mostly large and excellent photographs, and, for many chapters, fascinating illustrations and archival photographs, especially for early excavations in Greece. . . . The illustrations alone make the book a pleasure to read."-Bryn Mawr Classical Review "It will bring home to scholars and students the enormous scale and complexity of early archaeological work in Greece."-American Journal of Archaeology "This magnificently illustrated book with essays by leading scholars--frequently the excavators themselves--tells the story of Greek archaeological discoveries, capturing the excitement and rendering details accessible to a wide audience."-Library Journal "Owners of this book-professional archaeologists and armchair enthusiasts alike-will consider it the ultimate trophy."-The Anglo-Hellenic Review
Distributed by University of Exeter Press. 650 colour illustrations. This beautifully illustrated book offers an overview of the greatest archaeological sites and discoveries from ancient Greece. Th e contributors include those who have excavated at the sites in question and scholars who have spent a lifetime studying the monuments. Presented here are the legendary sites of ancient Greece, including the Athenian Acropolis, Olympia, Delphi, Schliemann's Mycenae, and the Athenian Agora; the most iconic sculptures in the Greek world, such as the Aphrodite of Melos and the Nike of Samothrace; and several fascinating chapters on underwater archaeology that discuss the Kyrenia and Uluburun shipwrecks and the astonishing bronze masterpieces raised from the sea.
