Parthenon Columns photo copyrighted by: Galen R. Frysinger The Parthenon was the supreme expression of the ancient Greek architectural
genius and represents the marriage of simplicity and power.
The metopes of the Parthenon all represented various instances of the struggle
between the forces of order and justice, on the one hand, and criminal chaos on
the other.
In 1460 the Parthenon held a Turkish mosque.
