The Parthenon symbolized for the Greeks

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Parthenon was a symbol of the wealth, power, and greatness of Athens as a city-state. It was also a symbol of their architectural and artistic achievements during the classical period. While religion was an important aspect of Greek society, the Parthenon was not specifically a religious center as it was used for a variety of purposes. There is no evidence that it was built as a monument to victory against the Phoenicians, and it was not a temple specifically dedicated to the importance of women.
