Product Description

From 478 to 413 BCE Athens appropriated 5,000 talents of silver from Delian League funds. A portion of these funds were used to rebuild and finance the largest building projects in Greece. This included the rebuilding of the Athenian temple on the Acropolis. In 447 BCE Pericles started construction of the new temple, the Parthenon. Dedicated to Athena, its name most likely comes from the cult statue of Athena Parthenos, housed in the temple building. Surrounded by a colonnade, the main room contained the statue of Athena adorned with smaller statues depicting Athena' life.
