EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a detailed view of the entablature of the world-renowned Parthenon temple, located on the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. Constructed between 447-438 BC, during the height of the Athenian democracy, this architectural masterpiece was commissioned by Pericles and designed by the architects Ictinos and Callicrates in the Doric order. The intricate entablature of the Parthenon is a harmonious blend of various architectural elements. The frieze, adorned with triglyphs and metopes, sits atop the architrave, which supports the weight of the entire structure. The capital, featuring an abacus, echinus, and necking, adds elegance and balance to the design. The Parthenon, a symbol of ancient Greek civilization, is a testament to the artistic and architectural prowess of the Greeks during the 5th and 4th centuries BC. The temple's exterior, carved from marble, has withstood the test of time and continues to inspire awe and admiration from people around the world. The Acropolis, located in the heart of Athens, is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, archaeology, or art. The Parthenon, with its entablature and other architectural features, is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Greece and Europe.
