CDR-1203: SR Set: Ancient Art: Greek Architecture

The images in this set cover the wide spectrum of Greek architecture with examples ranging from the late Bronze Age Palace of Minos at Knossos, through the Mycenaean period citadel and related tholoi such as the so-called Treasury of Atreus; and to the early Doric or Archaic temples at Paestum and Corinth and the transitional fifth century temple of Aphaia at Aegina. The Early Classical temple of Poseidon (temple of Hera II) at Paestum predates the Classical ideal, the Parthenon on the Acropolis at Athens. Other Classical structures on the Acropolis include the Propylaea, the tiny Ionic temple of Athena Nike, and the multi-purpose Erechtheion. Also included in the set is the Sanctuary of Apollo at Delphi with its variety of structures, the theatre at Epidauros, the ruins of the temple of Zeus at Nemea. Monuments from further afield include examples from Greek settlements in Ephesus, Pergamum and Priene in Turkey, and Agrigento in Sicily.
