Dogs in Athenian sculpture and vase painting of the archaic and classical periods

A brief introduction sketches the historiography of the dog in Greek art and defines a corpus of slightly over 2,000 images. These are either sculptures (primarily funerary), or vase paintings, dating from the Archaic and Classical periods. The structure of the book, in twelve chapters, is thematic from the third onwards, with the first two forming an extended introduction.
