From the superb mausoleum of Mausolus in Halicarnassus; stop by the shrine to Apollo at Delphi with its famous oracle; or pass through the imposing Lion Gate in Mycenae. This ""picture book journey"" takes us through all the important architectural sites in ancient Greece. ""Noble simplicity; quiet proportions"" was how the distinguished archaeologist Johann Joachim Winckelmann once described Greek culture; and the beauty of classical art certainly lies in its simplicity. This book is a comprehensive introduction to the architecture of perfect harmony and proportion; and a journey into the splendid art of the Mediterranean.
