Summary: "The fourteen essays in this volume share new and evolving knowledge, theories, and observations connected to the city of Athens and the region of Attica more generally. The contents include chapters on topography, architecture, religion and cults, sculpture, ceramic studies, iconographic issues, epigraphical matters, trade and Athenian drama. This volume is dedicated to John McK. Camp II, to acknowledge the extraordinary impact he has already had on the field of Greek archaeology through his years working in the Athenian Agora, as a scholar of ancient Greece, and as Mellon Professor at the American School of Classical Studies. The articles reflect current scholarship from the latest generation of authors with ties to Athens, and all of the contributors studied with Professor Camp in Greece."--
