• Built in Olympia

THE HEPHAISTEINION

• A temple built to Athena and hephaistos.

• Built in the Athens

THEATRE OF DELOS

MOST MEMORABLE

• The parthenon built 447BCE-432BCE
• It was built to display the large built statue of Athena and made of stone and pillars
• Having it built to tower of the city of Athenians exemplifies their power and wealth
• a part of the state treasury. Tax money from Delian league used to pay for it.
• Since that tax money helped with cost, tax money held inside the temple that collected by Delian.

CLOSING

• I believe that the Greek city states built to mainly show power, but more than that.
• Their architecture shows their adoration they have towards their Greek gods and goddesses
• Also with the most memorable one it shows power through intimidation with the large statue of Athena
