Rulers over Humans
Wherever, the Greeks lived, they would build temples to the gods. Even though the gods and goddesses had powers, they still had some human characteristics. The god that i would like to featured is Zeus. Zeus was king of gods and humanity. Greeks worshiped gods led by Zeus.

The Parthenon
Today, the Athenian leader Pericles is probably best known for making Athens a beautiful city. The Acropolis, the religious center of Athens, had been destroyed in 480 B.C.., during one of the city's many wars. The builders of the new Acropolis brought Greek architecture to its highest point. there most magnificent work was the Parthenon, a temple to the goddess Athena. The Parthenon was made of fine marble. It has rows and columns that so rounds it on all 4 sides.
