The frieze, the religious idea behind the building of the temple, and the attention to detail in the Parthenon shows a genius that can only be claimed by the Greeks. First, the Parthenon frieze is an example of how unique the Parthenon is to the Greeks.

In the frieze of the temple Athena is in a twisted perspective form, meaning she looks as if she could be moving but her shoulders are turned forward. However, most images in the frieze are ambiguous,

sophisticated form of architecture. The columns in the doric order are wide, seiver, and heavy. The columns don’t have a base, the columns go straight down. The doric buildings are generally larger buildings. The doric order also has a broken down frieze to it. It is made up of a pattern of the triglyph and the metope.

Violence against women includes domestic violence, child marriage, forced pregnancy, and other violence perpetrated by someone other than an intimate partner, sexual harassment (Frieze 2000). Female researchers such as Irene Frieze, Lisa Goodman, Lorraine Radtke, and Charleen Seen have focused much of their work on researching violence against women. The main focus will be women suffering from domestic violence and its effect as well as sexual assault

Below the dentils is the frieze with the name of the building, “Shadek - Fackenthal Library” centered and incuse. Within the architrave there is a raised molding delineating the truncated architrave from the frieze. The frieze rests on a disproportionately small architrave, about ⅓ as large as the ideal Doric structure. The architrave is solely composed of two fasciae. Below

It depicts the people of the Panathenaiac procession heading to the games. But it does not simply show that; it shows “horsemen and chariots led by elders and the attendants…dignitaries, women, and the Olympian Gods” (Boardman 40). The frieze characterizes all the procession goers as the upper-class, even comparable to gods. The idea Athens

Along the exterior walls of the cella was a continuous frieze helping the balance between the Ionic and Doric styles. The Parthenon with it's aesthetic elements allows for a smooth transition from the exterior and interior for a visitor as they had to look upon the statue through open doors. The architects took

The Parthenon, a temple of the Doric order, is one of the greatest artistic accomplishments of the fifth century. The Parthenon is viewed without mythological reference and stands far outside the normal Greek temple decoration, which is commonly known to derive its subject matter from the mythical past. (Connelly 53) The Parthenon is different from most other Grecian art of the fifth century and is truly beautiful. One of the greatest reasons the Parthenon is set apart as a great feat in Grecian

The Parthenon Building the Parthenon was a greater feat than they ever would have known. Work on the Parthenon began in 477 BC. A much smaller shrine already stood on this site, one to which we can attribute various pieces of surviving decorative material--lions and snakes, a cornice incised with flying birds, and a blue-bearded trinity that may conceivably represent Cecrops, Erechtheus, and Poseidon. If such an edifice in fact existed, it was torn down to make way for a huge limestone platform
