Classical is a strange word to define. For the purpose of talking about Greek architecture, Classical means that it was made during the time period that is called classical antiquity. This generally includes Roman and Etruscan architecture as well. One could say that a Greek temple was a classical building, a Gothic cathedral is a Medieval building, and the cathedral in Florence is a Renaissance building. Those labels refer mostly to the time period the building was built in. It gets tricky in architecture when we start using words like classical to talk about buildings that were built in a different time period, but look like they were built in a classical time period.
NeoClassical is simply a reproduction of Greek and Roman classical architecture. It is a very broad category.
The inner chamber of a classical Greek temple is known as the 'naos' in Greek, or also 'cella' in Latin.
