The Parthenon is the most templo mayor dedicated to the goddess Athena. Parthenon originally meant virgin, which was another name for Athena. This temple is not only the largest, but also the highest place in the center of the Acropolis. There is also a statue of Athena inlaid with gold and ivory (made by phidias himself). Construction began in 447 BC, the temple was capped nine years later, and all sculptures were completed six years later. However, in 1687, when the Venetians were fighting the Turks, the artillery hit a powder magazine in the temple and blew up the middle of the temple. 180 1- 1803, Lord Elgin, a British aristocrat, carried away most of the remaining sculptures and suffered the most serious losses. Many antiquities originally belonging to temples are now scattered in British Museum, Louvre, Copenhagen and other places. /kloc-in the second half of the 0/9th century, the temple was partially restored, but it was unable to restore its original appearance. Now there is only one shell with stone pillars. The Parthenon is rectangular, with a front hall, a main hall and a back hall. The pedestal of the temple covers an area of 23,000 square feet, which is half the size of a football field. Forty-six marble pillars 34 feet high support the temple. The Parthenon's design represents the highest level of Greek architectural art. From the appearance, it is magnificent, radiant and finely processed. It has made many innovations on the basis of inheriting the tradition, striving for perfection in every detail and becoming the greatest model of ancient architecture. Eight-column Doric style is adopted, with eight columns on the east and west sides, 17 on the north and south sides, with a width of 3 1 m from east to west and a length of 70 meters from north to south. The top of the gable of the east-west facade (the facade of the whole temple) is 19 meters away from the ground, that is to say, the height-width ratio of the facade is 19 to 3 1, which is close to the "golden ratio" loved by the Greeks. No wonder people feel beautiful. The height of the column is 10.5m, and the diameter of the bottom of the column is nearly 2m, that is, its aspect ratio exceeds 5, which is far greater than the aspect ratio of 4+ 1 usually adopted by Dorian column (the simplest of the three major architectural columns in ancient Greece), and the column body is correspondingly tall and beautiful. This reflects the general trend of Dolak's column's development to ancient norms.
