About This Item
American School of Classical Studies at Athens, 1963. Paperback (Saddle Stitched). Good. Unmarked. Tanned. Section of color plates, 50 black and white illustrations throughout. The ancient Greeks' awareness of landscape is apparent in their choice of sites for temples and theaters, their love of trees in the care expended on temple groves, and their delight in flowers in the innumerable stories of mythological lore. They also use floral motives to give color and ornamental detail to architecture or as decorative designs in vase painting. A selection of such ornaments appears on these pages.
