Worshipping Athena by Jenifer Neils
The foremost religious festival of ancient Athens was the Panathenaia. This work addresses the problems of its interpretation, discussing the seasonal controversy over the Parthenon frieze. The festival is also compared with others held throughout the ancient Greek world.
“A superb presentation of a subject central to classical archaeology. . . All the chapters will be of great interest to scholars, and particularly to students, as they represent up-to-date treatments of enduring problems.” —William R. Biers, University of Missouri–Columbia
