Athens dominates the Attica region and is one of the world's oldest cities, with its recorded history spanning over 3,400 years and its earliest human presence starting somewhere between the 11th and 7th millennium BC.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/lucore_dr/">vincenzooli</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lucore_dr/48095604363/" title="Parthenon"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48095604363_c3b6613764_m.jpg" width="162" height="240" alt="Parthenon" /></a></p> <p>The Parthenon (/ˈpɑːrθəˌnɒn, -nən/; Ancient Greek: Παρθενών; Greek: Παρθενώνας, Parthenónas) is a former temple on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece, dedicated to the goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens considered their patron. Construction began in 447 BC when the Athenian Empire was at the peak of its power. It was completed in 438 BC, although decoration of the building continued until 432 BC. It is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece, generally considered the zenith of the Doric order. Its decorative sculptures are considered some of the high points of Greek art. The Parthenon is regarded as an enduring symbol of Ancient Greece, Athenian democracy and Western civilization, and one of the world's greatest cultural monuments. To the Athenians who built it, the Parthenon and other Periclean monuments of the Acropolis were seen fundamentally as a celebration of Hellenic victory over the Persian invaders and as a thanksgiving to the gods for that victory.<br /> <br /> From Wikipedia</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/lucore_dr/">vincenzooli</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lucore_dr/48095604098/" title="The Temple of Olympian Zeus as seen from the Acropolis"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48095604098_40362a5b85_m.jpg" width="165" height="240" alt="The Temple of Olympian Zeus as seen from the Acropolis" /></a></p> <p>View of the Temple of Olympian Zeus in 2015, showing the sixteen surviving columns, one of which is lying on the ground.<br /> <br /> Likely appearance of the Olympieion in 129 AD from the SE, showing the surviving columns and fragments of the entablature.<br /> The Temple of Olympian Zeus (Greek: Ναός του Ολυμπίου Διός, Naós tou Olympíou Diós), also known as the Olympieion or Columns of the Olympian Zeus, is a former colossal temple at the center of the Greek capital Athens. It was dedicated to &quot;Olympian&quot; Zeus, a name originating from his position as head of the Olympian gods. Construction began in the 6th century BC during the rule of the Athenian tyrants, who envisaged building the greatest temple in the ancient world, but it was not completed until the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, some 638 years after the project had begun. During the Roman period the temple -that included 104 colossal columns- was renowned as the largest temple in Greece and housed one of the largest cult statues in the ancient world.<br /> <br />
