The answer is Parthenon. In Greece, balance and order were important principles. The Greeks thought that everything around them occurred for a reason. They desired to find out the order of the world around them. Their buildings were attractive, but they do not runoff with triviality or feeling. Instead, Greek buildings define order. The balance and order that we perceive in the Parthenon let us see the philosophies of Greek government.
