Review: Annette Haug, Die Entdeckung des Körpers. Körper- und Rollenbilder im Athen des 8. und 7. Jahrhunderts v. Chr. Berlin: De Gruyter 2012 (original) (raw)

This volume for the first time systematically compiles the archaeological evidence of Athens from the late 8th century to the early 6th century BCE. It aims to classify the material within the context of the urban topography and to offer a religious, social, and political interpretation. It provides the story of birth of the Athenian polis with a new archaeological and historical basis.
