Barringer’s book admirably fills that need, and will immediately become an essential point of reference\"\u003cb\u003e---Paul Christesen, \u003ci\u003eCurrent World Archaeology\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Barringer has done a superb job of sifting through the modern literature and adding her own insights so as to produce a fresh and comprehensive account of the site-history of Olympia, with modern controversies and debates highlighted and summarized. There is much here that will be new to others who, like me, thought they had a general familiarity with the site.\"\u003cb\u003e---Tony Spawforth, \u003ci\u003eMediterranean Historical Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Barringer’s work is both a monument to those who once achieved the extraordinary Olympic honour of being allowed to erect semi-godlike imagery of themselves within the Altis and may well be worthy of such kleos itself.\"\u003cb\u003e---Dr. John A.
