- Doric Order
- The Parthenon is constructed in the Doric order, a style of ancient Greek architecture characterized by simple, sturdy columns with no base and a plain, unadorned capital.
- Entablature
- The entablature of the Parthenon includes the architrave, frieze, and cornice, which are horizontal elements supported by the columns.
- Metopes
- The metopes on the Parthenon's frieze depict various mythological scenes, including battles between gods and giants.
- Pediment
- The Parthenon features two pediments, one at the east and one at the west end, which are triangular gables filled with sculptural decoration.
- Peristyle
- The Parthenon is surrounded by a peristyle, a colonnade of columns that wraps around the entire building.
- Propylon
- The entrance to the Acropolis, where the Parthenon is located, is marked by a propylon, a monumental gateway with columns and a roof.
- Triglyphs
- The frieze of the Parthenon is divided into triglyphs, which are three vertical bands that alternate with metopes.
- Volute
- The capitals of the columns on the Parthenon are decorated with volutes, spiral scrolls that add ornamentation to the otherwise simple design.
