<p>Why did the Parthenon not have a purely religious purpose?</p>

Why did the Parthenon not have a purely religious purpose?

  • no altar has been identified along side it

  • Athena Parthenos (statue) did not have a priestess until decades after its construction

  • The gold used to decorate chryselephantine statue was removable and could be borrowed in times of need
