Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langj�igem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Hervorragendes Exemplar / marvellous copy. - This book examines the effects of the Peloponnesian War on the art of Athens and the historical and artistic contexts in which this art was produced. During this period, battle scenes dominated much of the monumental art and large numbers of memorials to the war dead were erected. The temple of Athena Nike, built to celebrate Athenian victories in the first part of the war, carries a rich sculptural program illustrating military victories. For the first time, the arts in Athens expressed an interest in the afterlife, with many sculptured dedications to Demeter and Kore, who promised initiates special privileges in the underworld. / CONTENTS: athenian religion and the peloponnesian war michael a. flower -- archaism and the quest for immortality in attic sculpture during the peloponnesian war olga palagia -- the eleusinian sanctuary during the peloponnesian war kevin clinton -- attic votive reliefs and the peloponnesian war carol l. lawton -- war, plague, and politics in athens in the 420s b.c. lisa kallet -- the north frieze of the temple of athena nike peter schultz -- thucydides and the unheroic dead brian boswortb -- images in the athenian "demosion sema" hans rupprecht goette -- children in athenian funerary art during the peloponnesian war john h. oakley10 alcibiades: the politics of personal style h. a. shapiro -- selected bibliography -- index locorum -- index of museums and collections -- general index.
