Who Built The Parthenon?

An enduring symbol of ancient Greek artistry and architecture. Arguably the most recognisable monument they left behind. The Parthenon. Built atop the Acropolis in Athens during the 5th century BCE, its construction was completed just before the start of the Peloponnesian War. Today, its ruined marble pillars are printed on postcards the world over, and visited daily by hordes of bustling tourists. Tristan Hughes from The Ancients podcast guides Matt Lewis through the very long story of the Parthenon - from its origins in embezzlement, to its ruin in war, and the mysterious functions it served in between. Echoes of History is a Ubisoft podcast, brought to you by History Hit. Hosted by: Matt LewisEdited by: Alex JonesProduced by: Joseph Knight, Matt Lewis, Robin McConnellSenior Producer: Anne-Marie LuffProduction Coordinator: Beth DonaldsonExecutive Producers: Etienne Bouvier, Julien Fabre, Steve Lanham, Jen BennettMusic:Phoibe The Orphan by The Flight & Mike GeorgiadesA Happy Family by The Flight & Mike GeorgiadesThe Cult Of Kosmos by The Flight & Mike GeorgiadesAriadnes' Fate by The Flight & Mike GeorgiadesKorinth by The Flight & Mike GeorgiadesIf you liked this podcast please subscribe, share, rate & review.
