The Pantheon and the Parthenon are both ancient temples. While the Pantheon was built in Rome
to celebrate all the Roman gods, the Parthenon was built in Ancient Greece for the goddess Athena.
The Parthenon pre-dates the Pantheon by about six centuries; it was built around 447-438 BCE,
while the Pantheon was built in 126 CE.

THE GOLDEN RATIO

• History
• The Pantheon was originally built by Marcus
Agrippa in 27 BC, and the inscription on the front
reads “M Agrippa L F Cos Terium Fecit,” or “Marcus
Agrippa built this when he was consul for the third
time.” However, the entire Pantheon was destroyed
except for this façade, and the Emperor Hadrian
rebuilt it on the same site in 126 AD. The building
was given to Pope Poniface IV in 609 AD and was
converted to a Christian church, saving it from
destruction or looting. It was used as a tomb in the
Renaissance and is the location of some royal
tombs.

Pantheon
The Parthenon was built between 447 and 438 BC by Iktinos and Kallikrates as
a temple to Athens’ patron goddess, Athena.

Greek Classic the
Parthenon
• The Parthenon has been subscribed in the
golden rectangle, because it gives a
pleasant vision to whom looks at it, it is a
sort of divine ownership.
• The golden ratio is a characteristic that you
can find in a lot of circles (from the zoology,
to the botany, to the art…)
THE PARTHENON CAN BE INSERTED IN A GOLDEN RECTANGLE BECAUSE THE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN ITS BASE AND THE HEIGHT IS 1,618: THE GOLDEN NUMBER. THIS RELATIONSHIP IS
ALSO VISIBLE IN OTHER ELEMENTS AND DECORATIONS OF THE PEDIMENT.
*If from it we remove a square of side of it equal to the height, the remaining part
it is still a golden rectangle.
http://goldenratio.wikidot.com/greek-and-roman-art
SCULPTURE
In some Greek sculptures the navel (belly
button) represents the mean of the golden
ratio:
The navel is positioned such that the ratio
of the short half to the long half is equal to
the ratio of the long half to the whole.
Aphrodite of Cnidos by Prassitele
From feet to head= 1,606 (in this photo)
From feet to navel= 1
From feet to head= 1,618
http://goldenratio.wikidot.com/greek-and-roman-art
The width of height ratio of 9:4 governs the vertical and horizontal
proportions of the temple as other relationships of the building, for
example the spacing between the columns.
Greek Columns
Doric columns are the simplest. They have a capital
(the top, or crown) made of a circle topped by a
square. The shaft (the tall part of the column) is
plain and has 20 sides.
Ionic shafts were taller than Doric ones. This makes the columns look
slender. They also had flutes, which are lines carved into them from top
to bottom.
Entasis is the application of a convex
curve to a surface for aesthetic
purposes. Its best-known use is in
certain orders of Classical columns
that curve slightly as their diameter is
decreased from the bottom upwards.
en·ta·sis
ˈen(t)əsəs/
Noun ARCHITECTURE
a slight convex curve in the shaft of a column, introduced to correct the
visual illusion of concavity produced by a straight shaft.http://www.cmhpf.org/kids/dictionary/classicalorders.html

  • 2. The Pantheon and the Parthenon are both ancient temples. While the Pantheon was built in Rome to celebrate all the Roman gods, the Parthenon was built in Ancient Greece for the goddess Athena. The Parthenon pre-dates the Pantheon by about six centuries; it was built around 447-438 BCE, while the Pantheon was built in 126 CE. http://www.diffen.com/difference/Pantheon_vs_Parthenon

  • 5. • History • The Pantheon was originally built by Marcus Agrippa in 27 BC, and the inscription on the front reads “M Agrippa L F Cos Terium Fecit,” or “Marcus Agrippa built this when he was consul for the third time.” However, the entire Pantheon was destroyed except for this façade, and the Emperor Hadrian rebuilt it on the same site in 126 AD. The building was given to Pope Poniface IV in 609 AD and was converted to a Christian church, saving it from destruction or looting. It was used as a tomb in the Renaissance and is the location of some royal tombs. https://www.google.com/search?q=pantheon+pictures&es_sm=122&tbm=isch&imgil=EvxtqUOMkQKs2M %253A%253BXvzsk- yUNFhroM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fen.parismuseumpass.com%25252Fmusee-pantheon- 38.htm&source=iu&pf=m&fir=EvxtqUOMkQKs2M%253A%252CXvzsk- yUNFhroM%252C_&usg=__M95mrimaC_SIhZVgdzu- QesDyKU%3D&biw=1600&bih=731&ved=0CDIQyjdqFQoTCPaw3sX1hsYCFUeaiAodoCcAdQ&ei=6h15VfaTD 8e0ogSgz4CoBw#imgrc=EvxtqUOMkQKs2M%253A%3BXvzsk- yUNFhroM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.parismuseumpass.com%252Fdatas%252Fmusees%252Fp%2 52Fa%252Fpanthon%252Fxl%252Fpantheon- 50c07d2be57f8.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fen.parismuseumpass.com%252Fmusee-pantheon-
  • 7. The Parthenon was built between 447 and 438 BC by Iktinos and Kallikrates as a temple to Athens’ patron goddess, Athena. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=264&v=9wO0VglnxK4 Greek Classic the Parthenon
  • 8. • The Parthenon has been subscribed in the golden rectangle, because it gives a pleasant vision to whom looks at it, it is a sort of divine ownership. • The golden ratio is a characteristic that you can find in a lot of circles (from the zoology, to the botany, to the art…)
  • 9. THE PARTHENON CAN BE INSERTED IN A GOLDEN RECTANGLE BECAUSE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ITS BASE AND THE HEIGHT IS 1,618: THE GOLDEN NUMBER. THIS RELATIONSHIP IS ALSO VISIBLE IN OTHER ELEMENTS AND DECORATIONS OF THE PEDIMENT.
  • 10.
  • 11. *If from it we remove a square of side of it equal to the height, the remaining part it is still a golden rectangle. http://goldenratio.wikidot.com/greek-and-roman-art
  • 12. SCULPTURE In some Greek sculptures the navel (belly button) represents the mean of the golden ratio: The navel is positioned such that the ratio of the short half to the long half is equal to the ratio of the long half to the whole. Aphrodite of Cnidos by Prassitele From feet to head= 1,606 (in this photo) From feet to navel= 1 From feet to head= 1,618 http://goldenratio.wikidot.com/greek-and-roman-art

  • 14.
  • 15. The width of height ratio of 9:4 governs the vertical and horizontal proportions of the temple as other relationships of the building, for example the spacing between the columns.
  • 17. Doric columns are the simplest. They have a capital (the top, or crown) made of a circle topped by a square. The shaft (the tall part of the column) is plain and has 20 sides.
  • 18. Ionic shafts were taller than Doric ones. This makes the columns look slender. They also had flutes, which are lines carved into them from top to bottom.
  • 19. Entasis is the application of a convex curve to a surface for aesthetic purposes. Its best-known use is in certain orders of Classical columns that curve slightly as their diameter is decreased from the bottom upwards. en·ta·sis ˈen(t)əsəs/ Noun ARCHITECTURE a slight convex curve in the shaft of a column, introduced to correct the visual illusion of concavity produced by a straight shaft.http://www.cmhpf.org/kids/dictionary/classicalorders.html
