Editorial Reviews
Review
'... a valuable book that will appeal to specialists and non-specialists alike ... The Parthenon Frieze will certainly find a place in many libraries, both institutional and personal, and it establishes high standards for other scholars aspiring to reexamine a significant monument of classical art.' The Classical Journal
Review
"This handsomely mounted, comprehensive, and persuasively argued book is a joy to read." Bryn Mawr Classical Review
"Neils has done us a great service by collating the vast body of material on the frieze thus far, and by providing new and stimulating ways to think about the frieze in its visual and historical context. All this is achieved in an inviting format, which is a pleasure to read and to which I will return again and again." CAA Reviews
"A superb presentation of a subject central to classical archaeology...All the chapters will be of great interest to scholars, and particularly to students, as they represent up-to-date treatments of enduring problems." William R. Biers, University of Missouri-Columbia
"[Hartwick recommends] The Parthenon Frieze as a substantial contribution to the never-ending debate on this enigmatic and, therefore, all-the-more-fascinating artistic creation of the Classical period." Classical Bulletin
