In Late Antiquity the otherwise unknown rhetor Callistratus wrote a series - unique in its kind - of fourteen descriptions of works of art (mostly statues), thus enabling us to gain remarkable insights into late antique views on Classical Greek Art. The volume presented here contains a revised Greek text of the collection, its first German translation since 1833 and the first complete archaeological commentary ever on Callistratus' work. In der Spätantike verfasste der sonst unbekannte Rhetor Kallistratos eine in ihrer Art einzigartige Sammlung von 14 Beschreibungen von Kunstwerken (meist Statuen) und gewährt uns damit bemerkenswerte Einblicke in die damaligen Haltungen zur klassischen griechischen Kunst. Der hier vorgelegte Band enthält einen revidierten Text der Sammlung, die erste deutsche Übersetzung seit 1833 und den ersten vollständigen archäologischen Kommmentar zu Kallistratos' Beschreibungen überhaupt.

"Der Band handelt von den griechischen Statuen und Bildern, die ab republikanischer Zeit von ihren originalen Standorten nach Rom entführt wurden, und von denen, die im 4. Jh. nach Konstantinopel versetzt wurden. Es wird untersucht, mit welchen semantischen Veränderungen der Wechsel ihrer lokalen Kontexte einherging. Dazu werden die schriftlichen und archäologischen Zeugnisse zu allen öffentlichen Aufstellungen."

"Due to their proximity, the interactions between Greece and the Near East were regular throughout antiquity, but the period of the 8th/7th centuries BCE is generally called the "Orientalizing Age" (from the Greek perspective) because of the marked influence that the Near East had on Greek thought, myth, and art during this time. Many of the mythological monsters we today think of as Greek had their origins to the east, including the griffin, a hybrid creature usually composed of the body, tail, and rear legs of a lion and the head, wings, and sometimes talons of an eagle. During this period, griffins were frequently included as protomes on Greek cauldrons, that is, an adornment featuring the head of a creature along the rim of the huge vessel. These griffin cauldrons have been discovered over much of the Mediterranean region, from Cyprus to Burgundy and the Loire valley of France, especially in sanctuaries of all sizes and elite tombs. Papalexandrou explores the 7th century as a time of wonder and radical innovation in the material and visual cultures of the Mediterranean with the griffin cauldrons as his case study, examining the possible reasons for their popularity, how and by whom they were used, their religious significance, and how they traveled across the region"--

In this wide-ranging study, Richard Neer offers a new way to understand the epoch-making sculpture of classical Greece. Working at the intersection of art history, archaeology, literature, and aesthetics, he reveals a people fascinated with the power of sculpture to provoke wonder in beholders. Wonder, not accuracy, realism, naturalism or truth, was the supreme objective of Greek sculptors. Neer traces this way of thinking about art from the poems of Homer to the philosophy of Plato. Then, through meticulous accounts of major sculpture from around the Greek world, he shows how the demand for wonder-inducing statues gave rise to some of the greatest masterpieces of Greek art. Rewriting the history of Greek sculpture in Greek terms and restoring wonder to a sometimes dusty subject, The Emergence of the Classical Style in Greek Sculpture is an indispensable guide for anyone interested in the art of sculpture or the history of the ancient world.

Die Kenntnis der griechischen und römischen Antike, wie aller vergangenen Gesellschaften, ist in entscheidendem Maß von den Medien geprägt, in denen sich die jeweiligen Gesellschaften artikulieren. Die Gesetze, Konventionen und Konzepte der verschiedenen schriftlichen, bildlichen und materiellen Medien führen zu unterschiedlichen Konstruktionen geschichtlicher Wirklichkeiten. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes gehen den spezifischen Formen nach, in denen die griechische und römische Antike sich in Literatur und Inschriften, Bildwerken, Monumenten und Artefakten, Lebensräumen und Ritualen präsentiert. Für den Historiker stellt sich damit die Frage, wie die verschiedenen Konzepte der medialen Konstruktion von Wirklichkeiten zu einem Konzept von ,Geschichte' zusammengeführt werden können. Darüber hinaus ergeben sich Reflexionen über die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Medien und Formen, in denen historische Forschung ihre Dokumentationen und Untersuchungen betreibt und vorlegt.
