Ionic Order :
The Temple of Apollo at Didyma - The Greeks built the Temple of
Apollo at Didyma, Turkey (about 300 BC). The design of the temple was
known as dipteral, a term that refers to the two sets of columns
surrounding the interior section. These columns surrounded a small
chamber that housed the statue of Apollo. With Ionic columns reaching
19.5 m (64 ft) high, these ruins suggest the former grandeur of the
ancient temple.
The Temple of Athena Nike - part of the Acropolis in the city of
Athens. The Greeks built the Temple of Apollo at Didyma, Turkey (about
300 BC). The design of the temple was known as dipteral, a term that
refers to the two sets of columns surrounding the interior section.
These columns surrounded a small chamber that housed the statue of
Apollo. With Ionic columns reaching 19.5 m (64 ft) high, these ruins
suggest the former grandeur of the ancient temple.
Corinthian Order:
- most ornate of the classic orders of architecture. It was also the
latest, not arriving at full development until the middle of the 4th
cent. B.C. The oldest known example, however, is found in the temple of
Apollo at Bassae (c.420 B.C.). The Greeks made little use of the order;
the chief example is the circular structure at Athens known as the
choragic monument of Lysicrates ( 335 B.C.). The temple of Zeus at
Athens (started in the 2d cent. B.C. and completed by Emperor Hadrian in
the 2d cent. A.D.) was perhaps the most notable of the Corinthian
temples.
