The book presents the prehistory of Attica (Neolithic and Bronze Age) first and then focuses mainly on the topography of the city-state of Athens over the centuries from 1050 BC, the beginning of historical times, to the 3rd/4th century AD, which is considered the end of Antiquity. The narration combines a discussion of the topographical, epigraphical and archaeological data, as well as of the great works of ancient Greek art created in Athens during this period.

[...] "Games and sanctuaries in Ancient Greece" celebrates the athletes, the games, the sanctuaries, the cities and, above all, the inspiring s...

The Olympic ideal found resonance, not just in its cradle, the sacred land of Olympia where it was born and nurtured, but also in three other Pan-Hellenic sanctuaries, as well as in major local festivals, from the brilliant Panathenaia to the athletic contests in cities and sanctuaries in distant regions of the Eastern and Western world.
