From the Paper:
"The Parthenon has been admired for centuries for its architectural purity. The structure appears visually perfect. The source of this perfection is the subtle structural refinements conceived by its architects. Contributing to the Parthenon's majesty is a wealth of sculptural detail. The combination of superior sculpture and pleasing proportion make the Parthenon the best-known of all Greek buildings.The Parthenon is both a religious and political structure. The war between the Greek city-states and Persia interrupted almost all temple building for a generation while the Greeks concentrated on restoring their defensive walls, civic buildings, and the fleet. When the Persians were defeated in 479 BC, Athens emerged as the leader among Greek cities. Thus Athens controlled the war chest of the Delian League, a Panhellenic league. "
