The book titled The Parthenon of Pericles and its Reproduction in America by Benjamin Franklin Wilson III is a comprehensive study of the Parthenon, an ancient Greek temple located in Athens, Greece. The book explores the history, architecture, and cultural significance of the Parthenon, which was built during the Golden Age of Athens under the leadership of Pericles.The author provides a detailed account of the construction of the Parthenon, including the materials used, the techniques employed, and the symbolism behind the temple's design. He also examines the cultural and political context in which the Parthenon was built, and how it reflected the values and aspirations of the Athenian people.In addition to the historical and cultural analysis, the book also explores the reproduction of the Parthenon in America. Specifically, it focuses on the replica of the Parthenon that was built in Nashville, Tennessee in the early 20th century. The author examines the motivations behind the construction of the replica, and how it reflected the cultural and political climate of the United States at the time.Overall, The Parthenon of Pericles and its Reproduction in America offers a fascinating exploration of one of the most iconic and enduring symbols of ancient Greece, and how it has been interpreted and reproduced in a modern context.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
