Why they built the parthenon?
The Parthenon was built as a gift, or place to worship, the Greek goddess Athena, who was the patron goddess of Athens. The Parthenon had a statue of Athena inside that was made of ivory and gold. It is said to be one of the finest examples of Doric architecture. The Parthenon sits on the Acropolis, which means “high-city,” so the gift to Athena would sit high, like the goddess herself.
