Symmetry

The Parthenon is a perfectly symmetrical structure, even with all of the columns, there is a perfectly symmetrical pattern that runs through the temple. It can be perfectly divided into two identical parts, and this is one of the biggest achievements of ancient architecture.

Geometry

The entirety of the Parthenon is in a rectilinear shape, we see that the structure itself can be decided into many different sized rectangles and squares. Within the two rooms of the temple, it is shown that there are shapes that form because of the addition of columns. The geometry of the façade is much different from the plan, because the façade is in a more triangular shape from the shape of the pediment, as well as the relation of columns to the rest of the structure.
