Reviews

Jeannette Marchand:

‘This meticulously documented and amply illustrated book will be welcomed warmly by scholars interested in both Greek religion and the history of the region, and be envied for the completeness and speed of publication of such a broad corpus of excavated material.’

Alastair Small, Department of Classics, University of Edinburgh:

“The detailed analyses of Stymphalos presented in this volume will make it an essential point of reference for future work in Greek archaeology of the 4th–2nd century BC. Stymphalos: The Acropolis Sanctuary marks a serious advance in state-of-the-art research.”

John Papadopoulos, Department of Classics, UCLA:
“Stymphalos: The Acropolis Sanctuary is a volume that will quickly take its place as a standard and seminal work of reference in the field. Documenting, in detail, the excavations, architecture, and small finds from the site of Stymphalos in the Peloponnese, Greece, it illuminates many aspects of Stymphalos, not least the cult practices of the sanctuary and its history, as well as providing much of direct relevance to the history of the ancient city as a whole. An essential acquisition for any major research library.”
