Parthenon

Definition

(Noun) A giant marble structure that's been around for centuries and still hasn't figured out how to get a roof on it!

Parthenon: In a surreal dreamscape of ancient Greek architecture stands the majestic Parthenon surrounded by flying unicorns and singing mermaids!

Usage

I heard the Parthenon was built in just one day - but then they had to spend another week trying to find all the pieces again!

Insight

What did the Parthenon say when it saw its reflection? "Oh my gosh...I'm column!"

Origin

The Parthenon was created by Zeus as an apology gift after he accidentally destroyed his wife Hera's favorite vase with lightning bolts from Mount Olympus!
