Currently doing Classical Civilisation GCSE, not only did they have Doric style columns (characterised by their rather plain capital (that little ring thing at the top of the column) and lack of entasis/base) but they also housed Double Doric columns in the naos with it's cult statue.
I don't why but I find that so cute, they're like mini-versions of the regular Doric Columns. You should check out the Assasin's creed Parthenon and look at their columns, or some artist reconstructions as I can't really put these into words that well. Plus, I'm only at GCSE, this might not be the most informed explanation of their columns.
Feel free to correct me if need be
The columns of the Parthenon are in the Doric order.
Doric columns. What do you want to know?
The Ionic (made in Athens), the Doric (it is the simplest one, made in Sparta), and the Corinthian columns (which was richly decorates by floral elements).
Doric-style columns were used in the Parthenon.
doric, ionic and corinthian
Doric, Ionic and Corinthian.
The noblest: marble.
The Parthenon was the temple of Athena in Athens. Today it is a national treasure of the Greeks, and people come from all over the world to see it.The Parthenon was used to house the statue of Athena.
The Parthenon was built as a shrine to the goddess Athena. It was mainly used as a temple to worship her.
The pillars
I say that it was used until it was destroyed accidentally on purpose.
It was made out of marble and the foundations were made of limestone.
ivory and gold
The main material they builders used was marble.
They used stones to build it and they had to carry the stones up themselves or strong animas would.
Yes he used the extra war fund to build Parthenon
The Parthenon is built of marble and used to contain a statue of the Greek goddess Athena.
There is no evidence that they used columns in their HOMES. They used them in their temples because they needed to support the roof and did not know how to build arches. (Arches need less columns)
The three types of Greek columns are Doric, Ionic and Corinthian. 1. Dorian represents man or male 2. Ionic represents woman or female 3. Corinthian represents the young maiden
a big driller lol :P
