Answer:

The purpose of the Parthenon has changed over its 2,500-year history, beginning as a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena Parthenos (“Athena the celibate”). The temple was then used to store the Ottomans' ammunition during a war with the Venetians, which is how an explosion led to the building's ruin in 1687.
