The Parthenon

The Parthenon was built for the Greek goddess Athena.

The Parthenon was first built by the Greeks. after some time different religions tried to take over Greece, it went on for a long while the Parthenon started from a Greek temple to a Muslim temple to a christian church. The Greeks had stored an Ottoman ammunition dump and lots of gun powder in one of the rooms of the temple when it was built. As a result from a Venetian bombardment on the Parthenon on September 28, 1687 the room in the temple caught fire and blew up. Causing an explosion so great the roof was completely destroyed and part of the walls. Majority of the building is still standing and can be seen today atop the acropolis in Athens, Greece.

Parthenon was built on a long rectangular platform. There were 8 columns across both the front and the back, and 17 along each side. The roof was slanted, creating triangles, called pediments, at the front and back of the building. Above the columns was a band of sculptures called a frieze (freez). The sculptures themselves are called metopes (MEH-tuh-pees). The temple

had a magnificent statue of Athena that stood 30 feet high. Made of wood, the statue was covered with ivory to make it more lifelike. Then it was dressed in clothes and decorated with gold. Like the temple itself, the statue expressed both the Greeks' love of beauty and their awe of the gods.
