''The Parthenon: An Essay on the Mode by Which Light was Introduced into Greek and Roman Temples'' is a scholarly work by James Fergusson that explores the use of light in ancient Greek and Roman temples, with a particular focus on the Parthenon in Athens. Fergusson examines the architectural and design features of these temples, and how they were used to manipulate and control light to create a sense of awe and mystery. The book delves into the history of temple construction and the evolution of lighting techniques, as well as the cultural and religious significance of light in ancient Greek and Roman societies. With detailed illustrations and diagrams, ''The Parthenon'' is a comprehensive study of the use of light in ancient temple architecture, and a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of ancient history and architecture.1883. Fergusson presents an explanation of how light was introduced into the interior of classical temples. Contents: Hypaethral Temples; Pseduo-Hypaethral Temples; Ancient Greek Temples; Greek Peristylar Temples; Abnormal Greek Temples; and The Parthenon.
