Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'... this new book on monumental dedications and spatial politics fully deserves a place among the basic publications on Delphi and Olympia, and should not be missed by scholars interested in pan-hellenic identity and sanctuary spaces.' Histara: Les Comptes Rendus

'This handsome and readable volume belies its origin in the PhD research of Michael Scott, a rising star of Ancient History in Cambridge.' Anglo-Hellenic Review

'It is the particular merit of [the book that it] has turned to the archaeology, monuments, dedications and buildings of these sanctuary sites to test the nature of panhellenism as it changed over the archaic and classical periods.' The Times Literary Supplement

Reseña del editor:

This book engages with in English with the complex archaeological development of the religious sanctuaries of Delphi and Olympia during the archaic and classical periods (650-300 BC), to show how scholars have been too narrow-minded in their conceptualisation of the roles these religious sanctuaries played in the ancient Greek world.
