Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

More than any other ancient civilization, the Greeks placed the human body at the center of their culture. To them, the sculpted human figure was both an object of sensory delight and an expression of an intelligent mind. In the modern popular imagination, mention of the ancient Greeks is likely to conjure up an image of idealized and naked youth, and it is true that the ideal nude, both male and female, is a striking feature of Greek sculpture. However, in later Greek art, sculptors and their patrons became increasingly interested in human diversity, experimenting with the representation of ethnicity, age, social standing, and character. The marble, bronze, and terra-cotta sculptures presented in this volume--outstanding highlights drawn from over six centuries of artistic production--demonstrate the diversity of Greek figural forms, from the idealized beauty of the Classical era to the individualized portraits of the Hellenistic period. Large, stunning details testify to the artists' skills in portraying cold, hard materials as warm, human flesh.

Excerpt from Six Greek Sculptors It is impossible to acknowledge my obligation to all my predecessors, but I would more especially mention M. Collignon's H istoire de la Sculpture Grecque, to which I have made constant reference, and the various works of Professor Furtwangler, above all his Master pieces of Greek Sculpture. To Mrs. Strong I am in debted for her help in the choice of illustrations, and for the loan of many photographs; also to both authors and publisher for permission to reproduce some details from the magnificent plates of hamdy-bey and Th. Reinach, Une Necropole Royale (3 Sidon. Other publications from which I have borrowed are mentioned in the list of illustrations; I would especially quote among these the Fouilles de Delphes. I must also acknowledge the permission to photograph and repro duce the statue of Heracles in the Lansdowne collection.
