The definitive publication of the Temple of Apollo at Bassai, in the
northwest Peloponnese, this is one of four volumes representing the
culmination of years of study by Professor Fred Cooper of the University
of Minnesota and other scholars throughout the world. An identifiable
work of Iktinos, the architect of the Parthenon, the building exhibits
numerous unusual and uncanonical features that heralded a revolution in
Greek architectural design. Volume II contains Brian Madigan's study of
the sculptural program and Cooper's analysis of the relevant parts of
the entablature.
