This catalogue contains all the sculptures on display in
the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, undoubtedly the most
important collection of ancient Greek sculptures in the world. Each
entry is supplemented by a full bibliography and is written not only for
experts but also for the general reading public. A useful short
introduction offers readers an overview of ancient Greek sculpture from
the Archaic period to the end of Antiquity.


Included in this lavishly illustrated volume are the Poseidon of
Artemision, a statue of the god brandishing his trident; a marble group
of Aphrodite, Pan and Eros found on Delos; the Sounion Kouros, a
colossal votive statue found in the sanctuary of Poseidon at Sounion;
and the Roman statue of a young athlete, Diadoumenos.
