They may serve as a sort of "reverse optical illusion". [72] As the Greeks may have been aware, two parallel lines appear to bow, or curve outward, when intersected by converging lines. In this case, the ceiling and floor of the temple may seem to bow in the presence of the surrounding angles of the building. Striving for perfection, the designers may have added these curves, compensating for the illusion by creating their own curves, thus negating this effect and allowing the temple to be seen as they intended. It is also suggested that it was to enliven what might have appeared an inert mass in the case of a building without curves. But the comparison ought to be, according to Smithsonian historian Evan Hadingham, with the Parthenon's more obviously curved predecessors than with a notional rectilinear temple. [73] If you've made it this far, you'll know by now that there's A LOT of styles and types when it comes to the various parts of glasses. Using a process called riveting, sometimes called staking, the ends of the rivets are squashed, deformed and widened to squeeze the hinge onto the frame front or the temples.

The origin of the word "Parthenon" comes from the Greek word parthénos ( παρθένος), meaning "maiden, girl" as well as "virgin, unmarried woman". The Liddell–Scott–Jones Greek–English Lexicon states that it may have referred to the "unmarried women's apartments" in a house, but that in the Parthenon it seems to have been used for a particular room of the temple. [17] There is some debate as to which room that was. The lexicon states that this room was the western cella of the Parthenon. This has also been suggested by J.B. Bury. [10] Jamauri D. Green claims that the Parthenon was the room where the arrephoroi, a group of four young girls chosen to serve Athena each year, wove a peplos that was presented to Athena during Panathenaic Festivals. [18] Christopher Pelling asserts that the name "Parthenon" means the "temple of the virgin goddess", referring to the cult of Athena Parthenos that was associated with the temple. [19] It has also been suggested that the name of the temple alludes to the maidens ( parthénoi), whose supreme sacrifice guaranteed the safety of the city. [20] In that case, the room originally known as the Parthenon could have been a part of the temple known today as the Erechtheion. [21] Parthenon Marbles" redirects here.

Group from the east pediment, British MuseumAfter the capture of Sindh by the British, In 1882 they created Thar and Parkar District in Southeastern Sindh for administrative purposes. In 1906, the district headquarters was moved from Amarkot (now Umerkot) to Mirpur Khas. In 1953, after the creation of Pakistan, some area on the northern side was detached from the original Tharparkar District and named Sanghar District. On 31 October 1990 the district was divided into the Tharparkar and Mirpur Khas Districts. In the same year, Mirpurkhas also get the status of divisional headquarter.

Two pediments rise above the portals of the Parthenon, one on the east front, one on the west. The triangular sections once contained massive sculptures that, according to the second-century geographer Pausanias, recounted the birth of Athena and the mythological battle between Athena and Poseidon for control of Athens. [89] East pediment [ edit ] Full rim frames have an angled female recess on the inside of the rim called a lens groove. This recess is about 1.5mm deep at an angle 120°. Cut onto the edge of the lens is a 'male' bevel which locates into a 'female' lens groove by heating and gently stretching the frame front.One interpretation is that it depicts an idealized version of the Panathenaic procession from the Dipylon Gate in the Kerameikos to the Acropolis. In this procession held every year, with a special procession taking place every four years, Athenians and foreigners participated in honouring the goddess Athena by offering her sacrifices and a new peplos dress, woven by selected noble Athenian girls called ergastines. The procession is more crowded (appearing to slow in pace) as it nears the gods on the eastern side of the temple. [85] Glasses temples are made at various lengths to suit different head sizes and vary from 120mm to 150mm in length. This melt makes a sturdy bond between the hinge and the frame without the need for rivets. As you can imagine, hidden hinges are a sleeker design with less components, however they are very rarely repairable. There’s the optometrists who have their own secret code... then there’s makers like us who have our own entire glasses language too.

Most of the surviving sculptures are at the Acropolis Museum in Athens and (controversially) at the British Museum in London (see Elgin Marbles).

For facial comfort, the bridge of your glasses has two main functions. These come from bridge bump and the bridge aperture. The Parthenon was converted into a Christian church in the final decades of the fifth century [106] to become the Church of the Parthenos Maria (Virgin Mary) or the Church of the Theotokos ( Mother of God). The orientation of the building was changed to face towards the east; the main entrance was placed at the building's western end, and the Christian altar and iconostasis were situated towards the building's eastern side adjacent to an apse built where the temple's pronaos was formerly located. [107] [108] [109] A large central portal with surrounding side-doors was made in the wall dividing the cella, which became the church's nave, and from the rear chamber, the church's narthex. [107] The spaces between the columns of the opisthodomos and the peristyle were walled up, though a number of doorways still permitted access. [107] Icons were painted on the walls, and many Christian inscriptions were carved into the Parthenon's columns. [102] These renovations inevitably led to the removal and dispersal of some of the sculptures. Tarbell, F.B. A History of Ancient Greek Art. (online book)". Ellopos.net . Retrieved 18 April 2009.
