Every year, thousands enter the temple in Nashville's Parthenon to view the nearly 42-foot statue of Athena.
But this year, she turns 35 years young. The Greek goddess of warfare and wisdom, carved out of gypsum cement, took eight years to complete. On today's show, we chat with the sculptor behind the deity, Alan LeQuire, to hear about his process. Plus, we learn about his new exhibition, Monumental Figures. Parthenon Museum Curator Jennifer Richardson joins the panel along with Parthenon Director of Education Helen Sanders.
This episode was produced by Josh Deepan and Mary Mancini.
