No, the Parthenon is primarily made of Pentelic marble, which is a type of metamorphic rock. This marble was quarried from Mount Pentelicus and is known for its fine quality and bright white appearance. While the Parthenon does incorporate some other materials, such as limestone for certain structural elements, its main construction material is indeed a metamorphic rock.
