Bücher von Anthony (Ohio State University) Kaldellis

Presenting a wealth of new evidence, Professor Kaldellis examines the history of Byzantine Athens. He focuses specifically on the Parthenon, which became a Christian church and a major site of pilgrimage and was part of a broader attempt to fuse pagan and Christian culture in the city.

This text was first book to examine the transformation in the meaning of Hellenism in late antiquity and Byzantium, when Greek identity and the classical legacy were profoundly re-evaluated. Its discussion of the sources will appeal to classicists and students of modern Greece.
