What is an acropolis and a Parthenon?
This is a strange question! The Acropolis is a flat-topped rock which rises 150 m (490 ft) above sea level in the city of Athens. On the Acropolis is built the Parthenon a temple built for the Greek goddess Athena in the 5th century BC The Acropolis is a natural land form and Parthenon a construction of man, both are very beautiful but both are linked one to another. In my opinion the location of the Parthenon makes its beauty and the Acropolis would just be another rock without the Parthenon's presence.
Why did most people Athens build the Parthenon?
The Parthenon was built as a gift, or place to worship, the Greek goddess Athena, who was the patron goddess of the greek goddess 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.
