The temple as seen today was built between 421 and 406 BC

Athens

Six draped female figures as supporting columns

Each sculpted in a manner different from the rest

Engineered in such a way that their slenderest part, the neck, is capable of supporting the weight of the porch roof

While remaining graceful and feminine

Greece, a country in crisis

The Parthenon is a temple dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena

Its construction began in 447 BC when the Athenian Empire was at the height of its power

It is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece

Acropolis is the eternal symbol of democracy, education and inspiration
