Ebook About Democracy's symbolic birthplace, the famed Acropolis, stands today as a reminder of the glory that was ancient Greece. Atop this ancient citadel - once the center of Athenian civil pride and religion - stands the most famous structure in the Western world, the Parthenon. Here, historian R. Taylor Austen tells the stirring story of the Parthenon but also traces the history of Athens itself - its meteoric ascendancy, its worldwide impact, and its subsequent decline.Book The Parthenon Review :
What surprised me about this book is the drama - perhaps no structure in history has endured so much. It has been burned, looted, and turned into a church and then a mosque. Then there is the story of Lord Elgin, the bad boy who packed up the Parthenon’s marbles and shipped them off to England.I also liked the fact that the author explores not only the history and construction of the Parthenon but of Athens itself. It is fascinating stuff.Well done - and well worth your time. Since childhood, I have been fascinated by all things Greek, and this book about their magnificent Parthenon kept me up reading one night. What a story.For example, I had no idea the Parthenon, which I knew so well from photos, was once in color and covered in gold leaf. The sculptures even had colored-glass eyes.As historian R. Taylor Austen writes: “Time has removed all trace of color from its stones, but perhaps that is just as well for modern taste since the Greeks had a passion for gilding or painting any stone surface in sight, and the Parthenon received more gilt than most.”I now picture all of the Acropolis awash in shining gold and beautiful colors, a complete contrast from the stark white columns that remain today.I recommend this book highly to anyone who has an interest in the past and especially in these relics that still stand as testimony to humanity’s struggles to reach perfection.An amazing read.
