| Publisher Description: The focus of this thesis is the discovery of grave monuments in Xanthos which depict harpies, mythological figures with the bodies of birds and the heads of women. Rudolph uses these as a starting point from which to discuss the trends of Lycian art during the 6th and 5th centuries BC. She examines the types of male and female figures, particularly sitting figures, that were depicted both in reliefs and in free-standing sculptures and compares those found on Xanthos with others from the late archaic Greek world. The majority of the sculptures discussed can now be found in the British Museum. |
