In her long-awaited new book, Milette Gaifman provides an exceptionally lucid, rich and provocative appraisal of such ideas in Greek historical perspective. Michael Squire, Sehepunkte Milette Gaifman's book (originally a dissertation) invites us to revise our assumptions about Greek aniconism. Her meticulous study offers the first comprehensive survey of the phenomenon of aniconism in ancient Greece, and should prove of great interest not only to classicists and classical archaeologists but especially to any scholar concerned with religious art, representation of the divine, or ancient and modern theories on art and religion, because the notion of 'aniconism' has been so pervasive in scholarly fields not directly concerned with the ancient Greek world.
