The moduli space of cubic surfaces is known to be isomorphic to a quotient of the unit ball in C^4 by an arithmetic
group. We review this construction, then explain how to construct
an explicit inverse to the period map by using suitable theta functions. This gives a new proof of the isomorphism between the two spaces.
