Description
View of entablature and columns at the Parthenon in Athens, Greece. Chita Hunter photo, 1985. "Doric peripteral temple, 8 x 17 columns. Double cella with pronaos and opisthodomos, both with 6 prostyle columns. The smaller west cella had 4 interior columns. Inside the east cella was a U-shaped colonnade of 9 columns and a pier on each long side, and 3 columns between the 2 piers on the short side ... Toward the west end of the interior colonnade was a statue base for the cult statue of Athena Parthenos with a large shallow rectangle cut to create a reflecting pool in front of it. Bronze doors are postulated for both eastern and western cellas,"--Perseus Digital Library.
