Architecture of the Parthenon: There were 8 Doric columns in the front and 17 columns on each side. Each column was 10.4 meters high while the base of the Parthenon was 69.5 x 30.9 meters.

The Parthenon on the Acropolis has eight columns on its front and rear facades and seventeen columns on each side. The eight columns on the front were a deliberate design choice, conforming to the 9:4 ratio favored in the building's construction. This ratio influenced not only the number of columns but also the overall proportions of the temple. The surrounding columns, a peristyle of 46 Doric columns, also adhere to this ratio and other architectural refinements.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Facade Columns: The Parthenon features eight columns across the front (east and west) and back (east and west) of the temple.
Side Columns: Along the north and south sides, there are seventeen columns in the peristyle.
Total Columns: Counting the corner columns twice, there are a total of 46 columns in the peristyle.
Ratio and Design: The 9:4 ratio, applied to the facade columns, is also reflected in the overall proportions of the Parthenon and the spacing of the columns.
Optical Refinements: The columns are not perfectly straight, but slightly taper and curve inward, a technique called entasis, to correct optical illusions and create a sense of perfect regularity.
Material and Construction: The Parthenon is constructed with Doric columns, and the entire structure was built with great attention to detail and an emphasis on perfection, reflecting the temple's religious significance.
