Fairfield University Professor Katherine "Kathy" Schwab has made a study of the classical Greek hairstyles of the famous Caryatids (maidens) of the Athenian Acropolis. Photo: Contributed Photo -
The Caryatids, six maidens made of stone, have stood for more than 2,000 years holding up the South Porch of the Erechtheion on the Athenian Acropolis. They each exhibit an elaborate hairstyle. Photo: Contributed Photo -
To demonstrate the intricate hair treatments of the six Caryatids, a half dozen students of Professor Kathy Schwab's volunteered to have their hair styled similarly. They stand here as the Caryatids were positioned. Photo: Contributed Photo -
The students of Professor Schwab's Caryatid Hairstyling Project cast shadows just as the Caryatids made on the Acropolis. Photo: Contributed Photo
