Why was the parthnon invented?
The Parthenon was built as a temple to the Greek goddess, Athena, believed by the people of Athens to be their protector. It was built between the years 447 and 432BC on the site of an older temple also dedicated to Athena and destroyed during the Persian invasion of 480BC.
Did the parthnon ever break?
Yes, the Parthenon has experienced significant damage throughout its history. It was partially destroyed in 1687 during a Venetian bombardment when an explosion occurred in the Ottoman gunpowder stored inside. Additionally, it has suffered from natural erosion, pollution, and restoration efforts that have altered its original structure. Despite these damages, it remains an iconic symbol of ancient Greek architecture and culture.
