520 1 $a"Classicist and historian Mary Beard takes us back to the fifth century B.C. to consider the Parthenon in its original guise - as the flagship temple of imperial Athens, housing an enormous gold and ivory statue of the city's patron goddess attended by an enigmatic assembly of sculptures. Just as fascinating is the monument's far longer life as cathedral church of Our Lady of Athens, as "the finest mosque in the world," and, finally, as an inspirational ruin and icon. Beard also takes a cool look at the bitter arguments that continue to surround the "Elgin Marbles," the sculptures from the Parthenon now in the British Museum. Her book constitutes a tour of the history and present state of this glory of the Acropolis."--BOOK JACKET.
