The Parthenon features the Doric order, characterized by its sturdy columns with simple, fluted shafts and no bases, emphasizing strength and simplicity. Additionally, it incorporates entasis, a slight curvature in the columns that corrects optical illusions, making them appear perfectly straight. Lastly, the use of a symmetrical layout and the intricate friezes and sculptures exemplify the Greeks' mastery of proportion and decorative artistry in architecture.
The Parthenon was built as a residence for the Goddess Athena, but the construction was done by two Greek architecture, Iktinos and Kallikrates, under the supervision of Phidias the Sculptor.
