Hephaistus on the Athenian Acropolis - Current Approaches to the Study of Artifacts Made of Bronze and Other Metals

This volume discusses the Acropolis bronzes. The introduction reflects on the history of the relevant scholarship vis-à-vis the life of the bronzes in various museums and collections in Greece and elsewhere. The six essays then provide overviews, reinterpretations, and critical discussions as well as new methodological approaches.
