Editorial Review:

Product Description:
This new Athenian Agora Picture Book provides a general introduction to the Greater Panathenaia, the week-long religious and civic festival held in ancient Athens every four years, in honour of the city's patron goddess Athena. The highlight of the city's festival calendar, with its musical, athletic, and equestrian contests, tribal events, processions, sacrifices and other activities, the Greater Panathenaia involved all the residents of Athens-not just adult males but also women, children, metics (resident aliens), foreigners, and even slaves. The facilities, administration, program events, prizes, and associated monuments are illustrated and briefly described.
