Wonders of the World Series - The Parthenon - (Hardcover) |
|
| The Parthenon is more than a magnificent building. Every marble statue, every graceful column, is an expression of a civilization whose three great values still speak to us today:
Democracy. At a time of godlike rulers, ordinary citizens voted to build the Parthenon.
Humanism. The Parthenon's art honored Athens' water carriers as well as its gods.
Balance. The Parthenon's aesthetic brought lightness and grace to height and mass. |
