# Callicrates

> He built the Parthenon — the marble temple that became the West's clearest shorthand for classical Greece — and the small, sharp Temple of Athena Nike that still juts from the Acropolis cliff. Fifth-century Athens trusted him with its sacred architecture and its defensive walls alike.

## Bio

Callicrates worked in Athens during the middle of the fifth century BC, at the height of the city's power and ambition. He and Ictinus designed the Parthenon under Pericles, the massive temple that crowned the Acropolis. An inscription names him as architect of the Temple of Nike on the same rock — likely the elegant amphiprostyle structure visible today, or a smaller predecessor whose remains turned up in its foundations. Another inscription credits him as one of the architects of the Acropolis's Classical circuit wall, and Plutarch records that he was contracted to build the middle of the three long walls linking Athens to its port at Piraeus. A crater on Mercury carries his name.
