Let's take a trip to ancient Greece, specifically to the Athens of the 5th century BC. Greeks and Persians had clashed during the medical wars, but finally the Greeks defeated the Persians. For this reason it seems that in the iconography there are constantly references to the supremacy of the Greeks, mainly in the metopes. The architects of this architecture made between 447 and 432 BC. C. were Ictinios and Calicrates, directed by the famous sculptor Fidias.
In the sculptures we find a round bulge in the pediment, in the high relief metopes and in the bas-relief frieze. In them are mythological themes such as the birth of Athena, the dispute in Athens between Poseidon and Athena, the Amazonomachy, the centauromachy, the gigantomachy, the fall of Troy, and the procession of the Panathenaeans.
