Vincent Azoulay, Janet Lloyd

Tyrant-Slayers of Ancient Athens

A Tale of Two Statues

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This investigation relies on a rash bet: to write the biography of two of the most famous statues in Antiquity, the Tyrannicides. By recreating the eventful life of these statues, from their birth to their disappearance, Vincent Azoulay reveals that they were much more than a simple reflection: an acting symbol that models and makes history.
