Parthenon Athens photo copyrighted by: Galen R. Frysinger The Parthenon was built to extremely precise dimensions according to the
mathematical ratios of sacred geometry.
In 1687, during a battle with the Venetians, an explosion tore through the
building and caused much of the damage seen today. There was also a damaging
fire in ancient times.
The name Parthenon refers to the worship of Athena, the goddess and patroness
of the city of Athens.
