Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The illustration depicts the Parthenon, a temple on the Athenian Acropolis that is dedicated to the Greek goddess of wisdom, Athena. Much of the Parthenon is missing today, but it is still recognizable. An acropolis is a Greek fortress or citadel (containing many temples and monuments) on a hill, and there were several in Greece, though the Acropolis in Athens is the most well-known because it contains some of Ancient Greece's most notable architectural works, including the Parthenon and Erechtheion. The Temple of Zeus, which stood in Olympus, Greece, was the civilization's most sacred temple until it was destroyed first by a Byzantine emperor, then by earthquakes in the fifth and sixth centuries CE. It was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Pantheon is a temple in Rome.
