Even the earliest ancient Greek temples in stone supported sculptural ornament, though the best-known architectural sculptures in Greece are the great narrative compositions of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia and the Parthenon at Athens. This seminar will trace the development of sculpture as architectural ornament in Greece from the seventh through the third centuries B.C. We will consider Near-Eastern sources for architectural sculptures and explore the original meaning and guardian function of putting sculpture in high places before turning to the mythological and civic narratives associated with buildings of the Classical and Hellenistic Periods. Requirements: class discussions, class presentations, and a final paper of 15-18 pages.
