The temple of Parthenon as we know it today was the third temple build on top of the Athens Acropolis. This third temple was build by Pericles between 447 and 438 BC as a trophy for the victory of Hellenes against the invading Persians who had destroyed the second temple just before the naval battle of Salamis. When the Persians destroyed the Acropolis of Athens and Parthenon it was late September of 480 BC. The third temple survived the birth of Christianity and was turn to a Christian church in the 6th century AD. Later under the Ottoman occupation the temple was turned to a mosque. When Venice became the power of the Aegean sea the Ottomans converted the Acropolis to a military camp with all the high rank Ottoman/ Turks citizens. The Acropolis was bombarded by Morozini and the temple was partially destroyed. Later just before the Greek Independence war the Earl of Elgin bought parts of the Parthenon marbles and sold them to the British Museum were they stand currently.
