∙ 14y agoIf you mean why was it important that Pericles rebuilt it after it was sacked, the answer is because it is a symbol of Athens' strength and victory. After the Persians attacked and sacked Athens in 480BCE, there was another battle a year later when the Greeks (Athenians) won and successfully defended their city. Shortly after, Athens became the main political and cultural hub in Greece. Pericles rebuilt the Acropolis as an expression of Athen's power. Also, the Parthenon in particular was build to honor Athena, Athens' patron goddess.
