An immense, columned temple built almost entirely of marble, Athens's ancient Parthenon is the consummate example of classical Greek architecture. Its legendary balance was achieved through a number of devices employed to counteract certain peculiarities of human vision. Lines that appear straight in the Parthenon are found on measurement to be curved. Distances and widths that appear equal are in fact expertly varied. Columns taper and tilt inward, lending a certain lightness to the massive stone structure.
座落于雅典的古帕台农神庙，是座几乎全是大理石结构的雄伟精妙的圆柱型巨殿。它是古典希腊式建筑完美之典范。它运用了多种设计来抵消人类特殊的视觉偏差，从而达到令人惊叹的均衡。帕台农神庙上看似笔直的线条，经测定证实为曲线。距离和宽度看似相等的格局，实则千变万化，巧夺天工。圆柱逐渐变细，向内倾斜，给这巨石结构带来几分轻巧的感觉。
