The Parthenon The Parthenon is a two-roomed doric temple located on the Acropolis in Athens, Greece. It was constructed between 449 and 432BC. It serves two purposes. First, it was dedicated to the goddess, Athena, patron goddess of Athens (it was also the third temple built to worship her at this location). The larger of the two rooms contained a 40-foot tall gold and ivory statue of the goddess. The smaller of the two rooms housed the treasury of the Delian League. The Delian League was a group of poleis, or independent cities, in the region that had formed an alliance against enemy attacks.
