Author Description

The frieze of the temple of Apollo Epikourios at Bassai is one of the most suggestive examples of reliefs from the 5th century B.C., now preserved in the British Museum. Since 2009, a group of artists directed by Jorge Egea and Ram$n Casanova has studied the frieze with the same interest that 19th century artists visited the ruins. They re- capture the original gaze of art, using basic drawing and photography techniques to reveal new readings for contemporary observers. This book presents a collection of texts and images that relate to the interpretation of Apollo Epikourios.
