Description

Parthenon is a large marble temple dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena, and it is located in the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. The name Parthenon comes from the Greek word "Parthenos," which means "unmarried women's apartments." Historians believe the name is related to a room inside the temple, but are unable to agree on which room.
The Parthenon was not the first temple for Athena built on the Acropolis. It was built on the remains of a previous temple, which is referred to as the Older Parthenon or Pre-Parthenon.
