The Parthenon Frieze, Part 1 - Ancient Art Podcast (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
Ancient Art Podcast Episode 10. This is the first of multiple episodes focusing on one of the most iconic, pivotal, and contentious works or art from Ancient Greece: the Parthenon Frieze. We begin with an introduction to the frieze's origin, construction, and sordid history. The meat of our journey brings us to the exploration of the new imperial Athens, who seeks to model herself, her new Periclean Acropolis, and the Parthenon frieze after the closest and most familiar former empire of the Mediterranean, her once-formidable enemy, Persia.
