Award-winning author-illustrator Lynn Curlee explores the tremendous history behind one of the most recognizable buildings in the world, the Parthenon, in this "meticulous" (Kirkus Reviews) nonfiction picture book--now with a new look! The Parthenon. It was ravaged by the early Christians, occupied by the Turks, and looted by the British. Wars were fought all around it. Plato, Socrates, Phidias, and Pericles contemplated philosophy, art, drama, and democracy on its steps. And today, its proud, ruined columns stand high above the city of Athens, Greece, the last sentinels of what's often considered to be the most important architectural achievement in the world.
The Parthenon is without rival in its beauty, purity of design, and tumultuous history. It grew out of war and strife, political uprisings, and financial difficulties, yet remains a symbol of what humanity--at its very best--is capable of accomplishing.
