Using illustrations of the Greek monuments and ruins, this book examines the symbolic, ideological, geographical and aesthetic importance of Greek iconography for the Western world. It examines how Greek monuments are perceived as sublime national symbols and as a mythological and archetypal reference against which Western culture is measured.
