Art & Architecture
With its rectangular stone platform, front and back porches (the pronaos and the opisthodomos) and rows of columns, the Parthenon was a commanding example of Greek temple architecture. the interior room (the naos or the cella) was relatively small, housing just a statue of the deity the temple was built to honor. People offered small terra cotta figurines as gifts to gods and goddesses, buried them with the dead and gave them to their children as toys. They also used clay pots, jars and vases for almost everything. These were painted with religious or mythological scenes
Funerary and Memorial customs
Greeks put a coin under the tongue of dead relatives before burying them as in the underworld, you had to pay Rhadamanthus to take you across the the River of Styx into the underworld. If not, they would have to wonder around until they find the other side, which can take forever.
