The Parthenon
The history of the Parthenon represents the rise and fall of a glorious empire, spawned amidst the expulsion of the Persians, perfected to represent the power and glory of Athens, and ultimately its slow deteriorating fall to modern pollution. The Parthenon was the products of two of Athens most prosperous and skilled citizens, Pericles and Phidias. ... when reconstruction started, to 433-2 when the Parthenon was completed, hundreds of hands worked daily in a frenzy of creative activity. ... The actual construction of the Parthenon was undertaken by Ictinus and Callicrates and built entirely of white pentelic marble. ...
The Parthenon itself was a temple surrounded by columns and designed in the Doric style and the structure itself was not designed to house her followers since they worshipped outside, hence it’s intimate floor plans. ... The name Parthenon was originally only applied to this part of the temple.
