description: This revised edition of John Griffiths Pedley's 1992 survey covers 3000 years of Greek history with nearly 400 illustrations &amp; an authoritative text that centers on material culture, especially pottery, statuary &amp; architecture. Greek Art &amp; Archaeology incorporates recent scholarship on matters such as influences from the Near East &amp; the spread of Greek ideas to other parts of the Mediterranean. Of special interest is Pedley's building-by-building history of the Parthenon, including a useful survey of its metopes &amp; friezes. He also offers well-considered stylistic notes on familiar objects, such as the Laocoön group &amp; the Nike of Samothrace.
