Gryphon
Gryphon (or Griffin)
In ancient times it was considered the protector of the divine. The creature was seen in civilisations as early as the Minoan civilisation (2700BC to 1450 BC).
This is on the roof of the Nashville Parthenon.
Nashville’s Parthenon was the centerpiece of the 1897 Tennessee Centennial Exposition fair. A number of buildings at the Exposition were based on ancient originals. However, the Parthenon was the only one to have been conceived as an exact reproduction of the Athens Parthenon. It was also the only one to have been preserved by the city. (The Knights of Pythias building was purchased and moved to nearby Franklin, TN.)
Originally built of plaster, wood, and brick, the Parthenon was rebuilt in the 1920s on the same foundations, but with concrete.
Today, the Parthenon, functions as an art museum.
