Luke
The story can be found in Luke 1:1-4. Luke was not among the first disciples of the Lord nor did he see the Lord while he was alive on this earth. People before had recorded what they knew about Jesus' life. They got their information from those people who were with Jesus. One of the earlier records was probably Marks gospel. Luke studied what these people wrote. He probably spoke to many people that were with Jesus. He listened to what these people said then made sure the information was correct and wrote it down.
Luke calls the message they passed down; 'the word'; 'The word' means the gospel especially what Jesus taught. A lot of Bible translations say these people were 'servants of the word'. They were probably apostles and teachers in the first Christian churches.
It is not known who Theophilus was. Theophilus was a proper name and Luke called him most excellent. This seems to show that Theophilus was a real and important person. Probably like Festus in Acts 26:25. Theophilus may have been the one who arranged for the book to be published. He could have been either a Greek or Roman government official.
Luke wrote the book for Theophilus but he intended for other people to read it. He wanted Theophilus and other people to have a true and informative record of what happened. He wanted them to be sure of what they learned and could understand the gospel and believe in the Lord Jesus.

Parthenon
"The Parthenon in Athens has a long and complex history. Built nearly 2,500 years ago as a temple dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena, it was for a thousand years the church of the Virgin Mary of the Athenians, then a mosque, and finally an archaeological ruin. The building was altered and the sculptures much damaged over the course of the centuries. The first major loss occurred around AD 500 when the Parthenon was converted into a church. When the city was under siege by the Venetians in 1687, the Parthenon itself was used as a gunpowder store. A huge explosion blew the roof off and destroyed a large portion of the remaining sculptures. The building has been a ruin ever since.
Archaeologists worldwide are agreed that the surviving sculptures could never be re-attached to the structure. By 1800 only about half of the original sculptural decoration remained. Between 1801 and 1805 Lord Elgin, the British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, acting with the full knowledge and permission of the Ottoman authorities, removed about half of the remaining sculptures from the fallen ruins and from the building itself. Lord Elgin was passionate about ancient Greek art and transported the sculptures to Britain. Their arrival in London was to make a profound impression upon western ideas of art and taste. It promoted the high regard that the European Enlightenment already had for ancient Greek civilisation."
