The artistic genius of Athens in the 5^th century BC reached its peak with the sculptures of the Parthenon. Designed by Pheidas and carved by a team of anonymous masons, the Parthenon presents a vision of Athens as the centre of the cosmos. The Parthenon was built nearly 2,500 years ago as a temple dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena.
