   • A building from Athens' golden age. The Parthenon on the Acropolis of Athens was built between 447 and 438 BC as a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena Parthenos.
   • The sculptures in ancient times. Sculptures carved in the round filled the pediments (the triangular gables) at either end of the building. The pediment sculptures and metopes illustrate episodes from Greek myth, and include the famous head of a horse of Selene (the moon goddess) and the river god Ilissos.
   • A history of the building. The Parthenon has a long and complex history. The building was altered and the sculptures were damaged over the course of the centuries.
   • The sculptures as museum objects. By 1800 only about half of the original sculptural decoration remained. From 1801, after obtaining permission from the Ottoman authorities, the British ambassador to the Ottoman empire Lord Elgin removed about half of the remaining sculptures from the fallen ruins and the building.
