Answer:
To counteract the apparent distortions of perspective in the Parthenon, the architects who designed it actually created an OPTICAL illusion.
Explanation:
The Parthenon is full of optical illusions. This technique decision was chosen by the two architects, Callicrates and Ictines, because they aimed to create the most beautiful and visually perfect and pleasing temple to have ever been erected.
To mention a few of the illusions used for this purpose:
- The columns are slightly larger in the middle section, to result straight.
- The base on which the columns are placed is slightly concave, for the same reason.
