A Correction For Your Notes
In the lecture last Friday, while speaking about the Parthenon, I mentioned the the roof had been blown out when munitions stored there had exploded during World War I. How I made this mistake, I don't know, but this actually happened during a war that was fought during the 17th century. Please make the necessary corrections in your notes.
