What features made the Parthenon one of the most beautiful temples in ancient Greece?
The first was the money to build and beautify it - Athenians led the anti-Persian Delian League. After peace was made with Persia, Athens continued to force these 200 Greek cities to pay the annual war funds to Athens. This money was used to beautify Athens, including the Parthenon. Perched on the Acropolis, no expense was spared on its construction, with a central place for the statue of the goddess Athena (parthenos = virgin = Athena), surrounded by columns on all four sides, with carved reliefs on the surfaces of the structure. The surfaces were faced with marble.
