Athens – The Living Symbol of Rich Classical Heritage

Athens, Greece

The Parthenon, Athens

The Parthenon was built in honour of the goddess Athena Parthenos (virgin Athena), patroness of the city of Athens.

The temple was sacred to two aspects of the Greek Goddess Athena, Athena Polios (“of the city”) and Athena Parthenos (“young maiden”). The “on” ending means “place of”, so “Parthenon” means “Place of the Parthenos”. The temple was almost seventy meters long and thirty-one meters wide (230 x 100 ft). Fourty-six columns surrounded the inner cellae, one of which housed an enormous statue of goddess Athena.
