[...] the book under review adds significantly to the story of Classical Greek architecture, as well as to the diversity and complexity of ancient sanctuaries and cult activities. The book is exceedingly well-illustrated, with both original drawings made by Dinsmoor and many additional photographs provided for comparison or to illustrate certain points. All in all, the result is a beautifully produced tribute to the author's own career as a specialist in Ionic architecture and to two great figures of the past remembered for their contributions to the archaeology of Athens and Attica. * Classical Journal Online * Lavishly illustrated with both color and black-and-white photos as well as numerous line drawings, this volume deserves a spot on the bookshelf of every scholar interested in Athenian and Cycladic architecture, the Ionic order, and Roman architectural reuse. Its sewn binding holds up well to repeated use and its prices belies its impressive size and final production quality... Ultimately, this book stands as a brilliant testament to the meticulous scholarship and memory of its three authors. * American Journal Of Archaeology * The brilliantly written and lavishly illustrated book of Barletta goes far beyond a collection, documentation and presentation of all relevant archaeological objects from the sanctuary. It presents, therefore, the most complete and comprehensive publication of the sanctuary. * Journal of Greek Archaeology *
