520 1 $a"In archaic and classical Greece, statues played a constant role in people's religious, political, economic, aesthetic, and mental lives. Evidence of many kinds demonstrates that ancient Greeks thought about - and interacted with - statues in ways very different from our own. This book recovers ancient thinking about statues by approaching them through contemporary literary sources.
520 8 $aIt not only shows that ancient viewers conceived of images as more operative than aesthetic, but additionally reveals how poets and philosophers found in sculpture a practice "good to think with."".
520 8 $a"By reading the plastic and verbal sources together, this book offers new insights into classical texts while illuminating the practices surrounding the design, manufacture, and deployment of ancient images. Its argument that images are properly objects of cultural and social - rather than purely aesthetic - study will attract art historians, cultural historians, and anthropologists, as well as classicists."--BOOK JACKET.
