one of the many\n        details that makes the Parthenon unique. On each side of the building is\n        depicted a different conflict, each of which is thought to allegorize\n        the recent Greek (mostly Athenian) defeat of the Persians: Gigantomachy,\n        or &#8220;Battle of the Giants&#8221; (east), Amazonomachy, or\n        &#8220;Battle of the Amazons&#8221; (west), Centauromachy, of &#8220;Battle\n        of the Centaurs&#8221; (South) and the Trojan War (north). The south\n        metopes (above) best survived both the 1687 explosion in the Parthenon\n        and the zealousness of earlier Christians in removing all trace of\n        paganism from their adopted temple.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>.drj-toggle:hover{background:#fff !important;box-shadow:0 0 0 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.15);} .drj-mobile-toggle-btn{display:none;} @media (max-width:767px){ .drj-mobile-toggle-btn{display:flex !important;} #drj-sidebar-root.drj-mobile-collapsed{display:none !important;} } &#9776;Open nav menu&#8722;Dr. J&#039;s Illustrated LecturesGreek Drama+Greek HistoryArchaic AgeClassical AgePersian WarsGreek Theater&#9679; Parthenon MarblesRoad to the Recovery of Ancient BuildingsThe Mythic Hero+Dr. J&#039;s Illustrated Sites of Greece+ArgolidEpidavros+MycenaeCisternClytemnestra&#8217;s TombGrave CirclesKing&#8217;s MegaronLion TombLion&#8217;s GateTreasury of AtreusNauplionTiryns+AthensAcropolisAcropolis MuseumAgoraArch of HadrianAreopagusChoregic Monument of LysikratesChoregic Monument [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":790,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-798","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.hsc.edu\/drjclassics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/798","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.hsc.edu\/drjclassics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.hsc.edu\/drjclassics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.hsc.edu\/drjclassics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.hsc.edu\/drjclassics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=798"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.hsc.edu\/drjclassics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/798\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3176,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.hsc.edu\/drjclassics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/798\/revisions\/3176"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.hsc.edu\/drjclassics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/790"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.hsc.edu\/drjclassics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
