The funds were partly drawn from the treasury of the Delian League, which was moved from the Panhellenic sanctuary at Delos to the Acropolis In Although the nearby Temple of Hephaestus is the most complete surviving example of a Doric order temple, the Parthenon, in its day, was regarded as the finest.
The temple, wrote John Julius Cooper, 2nd Viscount Norwich, "enjoys the reputation of being the most perfect Doric temple ever built.
Even in antiquity, its architectural refinements were legendary, especially the subtle correspondence between the curvature of the Stylobate, the taper of the naos walls and the entasis of the columns." The stylobate is the platform on which the columns stand.
