ARH 4/507: The Parthenon Frieze Description: The course examines perhaps the most controversial work of ancient Greek sculpture: the long frieze that decorated the top of the inner room (or cella) of the Parthenon. In addition to scrutinizing the iconography and possible subjects of the frieze, the course will set the imagery into the historical, social, and religious contexts of Athens during the age of Perikles.
