5. Visiting ancient Greece (from a tourist guide of Athens)
The Parthenon is the architectural masterpiece of ancient Greece. Even the time-ravaged remains that stand above Athens today express the power and grace so brilliantly combined by its builders. The temples on the Acropolis were built after the Persian wars at the inspiration of Pericles to glorify Athens. And one of them was the Parthenon.
The Parthenon was built between 447 and 432 B.C. by architects Ictinus, Callicrates and Carpion, under the supervision of Phidias, to the oldest Greek order of building, the Doric. The entablature above the chunky, fluted columns includes sculptured blocks (metopes) showing battles between centaurs and Lapiths — semilegendary people of ancient Thessaly.
Many relics of the Parthenon were carried away to England by Lord Elgin from the spoils of the temple, as he alleged.
