Most scholarship has sought an overall interpretation of the monuments iconography and therefore neglects the visual language of the sculpture, an essential tool for a full understanding of the narrative. Dr. Jenifer Neils's study provides an in-depth examination of the frieze that decodes its visual language, but also analyzes its conception and design, style and content, and impact on the visual arts over time. Unique in its wide-ranging approach, The Parthenon Frieze also brings ethical reasoning to bear on the issues of repatriation as part of the ongoing debate on the Elgin Marbles. This volume contains two innovative visual aids of the Parthenon frieze especially prepared for this book by Dr. Rachel Rosenzweig. The fold-out included at the back of the book is the first complete line drawing of the entire frieze incorporating the latest research on the disposition of the blocks. For computer viewing an accompanying CD-ROM contains two virtual reality movies of the relief based on casts in the Skulpturhalle Basel. Dr. Jenifer Neils is Ruth Coutler Heede Professor of Art History at Case Western Reserve University, where she has taught since 1980. A scholar of Greek art and archaeology, she organized the exhibition "Goddess and Polis: The Panathenaic Festival in Ancient Athens" and edited the exhibition catalogue. Neils is also author of The Youthful Deeds of Theseus and the second Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum of the Cleveland Museum of Art.
