Our Take
You know that scene in the Disney cartoon “Hercules” when Herc walks into the temple to talk to Zeus? That's how going inside Nashville’s Parthenon feels, except it’s a giant statue of Athena and not Zeus. While it’s gorgeous and ornate, it’s also kind of empty beyond the statue, because it’s one of those weird things that was built specifically as a tourist attraction. It’s kitschy, yet epic, and that makes it well worth visiting.
