THE FRIENDS OF THE
AUSTRALIAN ARCHAEOLOGICAL
INSTITUTE AT ATHENS
PRESENT A GUIDED TOUR OF
THE ATHENIAN
ACROPOLIS
to be conducted by Dr Stavros Paspalas
on SATURDAY 23rd November 2019
The Acropolis has long been the focal point of Classical
archaeology, indeed of the history of ancient Greece. Its buildings, even in
their ruinous state, have been deemed by many as the most perfect distillation
of Greek culture. But has it always been so? What was on the Acropolis before
the Parthenon, the Propylaia, the Erechtheion and the Temple of Nike were
built? What did the Athenians think they were doing when they built them? What
did they do with them? And what is that collection of marble architectural
elements opposite the east façade of the Parthenon? All these questions, and
more, will be addressed on the tour. And, as an added extra, we have been
granted permission to enter the Parthenon!
As numbers are
limited it is absolutely necessary that all those intending to participate
book.
Cost: Members Euros 20 Guests Euros
