The Parthenon atop the Acropolis of Athens is one of the best-known monuments in the world. In its glory days it must have been even more impressive as it now known that the edifice was painted in bright colours.

It claimed by David Pinnegar^(a) to have been constructed to commemorate the victory of the Athenians over the Atlanteans. He further contends that the frieze that adorned the Parthenon hold a representation of the debate to which Plato referred at the end of the Critias text. If this interpretation was true, is it not likely that Plato or any other classical writer would have referred to it? The frieze also appears to depict the Athenian war with the Amazons.
