Atena Partenos

Athena Parthenos (grčki: Ἀθηνᾶ Παρθένος; doslovno "Atena Djevica") bilo je naziv ogromne krizelefantinske skulpture koja je prikazivala lik grčke boginje Atene, a koju je izradio znameniti vajar Fidija. Nazvana je po izrazu kojim se nazivala boginja, a bila je smještena u atenskom Partenonu. Izrađene su brojne replike tog kipa, kako u antičko tako i u suvremeno doba.

Bila je najštovaniji kultni lik Atene,^[1] te se smatra jednim od najvećih dostignuća starogrčke skulpture. Fidija je rad na njoj započeo 447. pne.,^[2] Lahar je njenu pozlatu uklonio godine 296. pne. kako bi isplatio svoje trupe, pa je poslije toga obnovljena uz pozlaćenu broncu; oštećena je u požaru godine 165. pne. ali je kasnije obnovljena.^[3] Nastavila je stajati u Partenonu sve do 5. vijeka n.e., kada je najvjerojatnije izgubljena u požaru. Neki izvori, pak, tvrde da se nalazila u Carigradu u 10. vijeku.^[4]
