    Description

    Battle between the Greeks and the Persians, north frieze, Temple of Athena Nike, Acropolis, Athens, c. 425-421 B.C.

    The little temple of Athena Nike was built on the site of an earlier shrine. Unlike the Parthenon it used the more slender proportions of the Ionic order of architecture. It has a dramatic high position looking westwards from the edge of the Athenian Acropolis, next to the entrance.

    The external frieze is made up of a series of battle scenes involving the Greeks and their enemies. Like much of the temple, the friezes had been dismantled and reused to build fortifications in late medieval times.
