The Parthenon’s history

The Parthenon was built after the Persian wars.

It is translated as “The Temple of a virgin” and “ Young Woman” commonly in Greece.

Kimon indicated Callicrates to rebuild it. But he was banished. Then Pheidias rebuild it.




After Christianity was recognized in the Roman Empire,
it was remodeled to a cathedral which dedicated
to the Holy Mother Maria and
it was used as a church which is orthodox.
