Description
The Greeks used the mythical geography of their land to re-create a physical view of the past that their poets, priests and politicians used as a paradigm for contemporary behaviour, and they drew upon the world around them, not just to illustrate that past, but also in many ways to create it. Sir John Boardman explores objects and images: those that are recoverable, those that are mentioned in texts, or those that may be imagined.
