Matematiker avkrefter 2000 år gammel myte om Parthenon

  • Oxford-matematikeren Alain Goriely publiserte onsdag en artikkel i Royal Society Open Science som utfordrer troen på at Parthenon ble bygget for å korrigere optiske illusjoner.
  • Studien fant at templets berømte buede base og svakt utbulende søyler er for subtile til å kunne oppfattes, og antyder heller praktiske formål som drenering.
  • Goriely sporet myten tilbake til den romerske arkitekten Vitruvius, som beskrev de påståtte korreksjonene omtrent 400 år etter at Parthenon sto ferdig.
