The Parthenon

hi, at this post, i am going to tell you about the one place where i want to go, you can see it from the title of this post, yes the Parthenon. it looks like this.

The Parthenon is located in Athens, Greece. Now the Parthenon was made at 432 BC and the construction was done at 447 BC, the architects of this amazing building are Iktinos and Kallikatres. The Parthenon originally, was a temple made for Athena, the goddess who protects Athens. I'm going to tell you a little story about Athens, long ago 2 gods, Poseidon and Athena wanted to be the protector of this city, So they decided to make a competition where each of them had to give a present to people of Athens, and they will decide which present they like the best. Poseidon gave a Horse, and Athena gave Olive, the people of Athens likes the olives(i don't know why, i would've picked the horse), so Athena won, and the city was called Athens. Now let's get back to the topic, the Parthenon, changed functions from time to time, once it was a treasury, and once it was made into a christian praying place. at 1687, the parthenon were partially destroyed which explains why it looks like this now. but, if it wasn't destroyed, it will look like this

this is the replica of the parthenon in Nashville, USA. The interior of the real parthenon is empty. it looks like the bottom picture, and if the parthenon wasn't destroyed, it will look like the top picture. on the top picture, there's a statue of Athena named Athena Parthenos, because the Parthenon was a temple for athena, the statue was placed there.  

The Parthenon in Greece, is located on a fort named Acropolis, on that fort, there are also several more buildings. here is a picture of Acropolis.

maybe this seems boring to you but i really like Greek Mythology and history, this is why i really want to go there someday.
