Descripción

Small tears to head of spine. Faint foxing to top of textblock. Dustjacket is protected in plastic sleeve. ; In archaic and classical Greece, statues played a constant role in people's religious, political, economic, aesthetic, and mental lives. Evidence of many kinds demonstrates that ancient Greeks thought about--and interacted with--statues in ways very different from our own. This book recovers ancient thinking about statues by approaching them through contemporary literary sources. It not only shows that ancient viewers conceived of images as more operative than aesthetic, but additionally reveals how poets and philosophers found in sculpture a practice 'good to think with.' '; 9.2 X 5.9 X 1.0 inches; 384 pages
