The foremost religious festival of ancient Athens???. the city dedicated to Athena, goddess of, fertility, arts, and wisdom???. was the Panathenaia. Editor Jenifer Neils and the contributors???. eminent classicists, archaeologists, and art historians???. The foremost religious festival of ancient Athens???the city dedicated to Athena, goddess of , fertility, arts, and wisdom???was the Panathenaia. Challenging old assumptions and refuting new theories, Worshipping Athena addresses the many problems of interpretation and understanding that have swirled for years around the Panathenaia. Among the issues discussed is the recent sensational controversy over the Parthenon frieze, perhaps the best known but least understood work of Greek art. For centuries the frieze has been thought to represent the Panathenaia procession, but recently the argument has been advanced that it depicts the sacrifice of the daughters of the Athenian king Erechtheus. Worshipping Athena offers compelling evidence that the frieze does indeed depict the festal procession and also demonstrates that scenes of contemporary ritual were not unique to the Parthenon.    Editor Jenifer Neils and the contributors???eminent classicists, archaeologists, and art historians???explore the role of the Panathenaia in Athenian life and compare it with similar festivals held throughout the ancient Greek world. They discuss such topics as the Panathenaia mythical origins, the phenomenon of the festival valuable prizes (oil-filled amphoras, rather than the customary laurel wreath), and the architecture, sculpture, and painting related to the festival.    Worshipping Athena will provide valuable insights to scholars and students concerned with ancient religion, mythology, art, literature, and gender issues, as well as anyone with a keen interest in the ritual topography of the Athenian Acropolis and the iconography of the Parthenon frieze., Gut, Festpreisangebot, [LT: FixedPrice], Edition Description: NA, Format: Paperback, Publication Date: 1996-12-15, Language: English, Publication Year: 1996-12-15, Manufacturer/Packer/Importer Details: ERGODE, Net Quantity/Number of Units: 1, Dimensions (LxWxH) - Cms: 9X0.7X6, ISBN-10: 029915114X, ISBN-13: 9780299143701, SKU: SONG029915114X, University of Wisconsin Press<

The New Yorker. John Hildebrand sets out in a canoe . . . to explore the great riverway of northwestern Canada and Alaska. . . . The geography is closely rendered and the characters especially sharply drawn. The country is filled with mad dropouts at river fish camps, good-hearted girls in the towns, sullen natives in tumbledown villages, cranky old-timers, terrible drunks and worse moralizers who live off the wild landscape and its abundant resources. . . . This is a fine work, and Hildebrand is a fine writer. Charles E. Little, Wilderness For many of us the North has been the one place where a certain elemental experienceof land, water, and peoplecan still be had. John Hildebrands personal account of this experience has a particular freshness and poignancy. It is the record of a journey, as much ind as it is outd, and all the better for that. John Haines, author of The Stars, The Snow, The Fire A finely written account of coming to terms with ones self, of the realities of ones dreams. Recommended for anyone who would follow Thoreau into the woods, even now. Library Journal Hildebrand has every skill of mind and craft to enfold us in his experience.
