This volume's aim is to introduce the reader to the broad and multifaceted notion of context in relation to Greek art and, more specifically, to its relevance for the study of Greek sculpture and pottery from the Archaic to the Late Classical periods. What do we mean by 'context'? In which ways and under what circumstances does context become relevant for the interpretation of Greek material culture? Which contexts should we look at -viewing context, political, social and religious discourse, artistic tradition...? What happens when there is no context? This book introduces these questions in a series of case studies and offers answers to them.
