The+Parthenon


 * THE PARTHENON**

The Parthenon, a masterpiece of architectural design and craftsmanship, was nott unique in style. Rather, Greek architects constructed the 23,000-square-foot building in the traditional style that had been used to create Greek temples for 200 years. This temple, built to honor Athena, the Goddess of wisdom and the protector of Athens, contained examples of Greek art that set standards for future generations of artists around the world. But sculpting wasn't the only type of art they did.
