The cards back says-
The original Parthenon at Athens, one of the most famous beautiful buildings in the world, was built 438 BC as a temple to Pallas Athena (Minerva), guardian goddess of Athens. The replica in Centennial Park is the only one in the world. The building has the same dimensions as those of the Greek original, and the sculptures, reproduce, according to the most reliable data available, those of the original pediments. The east pediment tells the legend of the birth of Athena, and the west that of the contest between Athens and Poseidon (Neptune) for supremacy in the land of Attica.
