The Parthenon (Greek: Παρθενώνας) 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 BCE when the Athenian Empire was at the peak of its power. It was completed in 438 BCE, although decoration of the building continued until 432 BC.
Made of Pentelic marble, the temple was known for housing the massive statue of Athena made by renowned sculptor, Phidias. The structure also held the city's and Delian League's riches.[1]
