Fluted
They were tall stone columns used to support buildings. They were used for support, so although the Greeks made every effort to make then appear to be straight, they were sometimes slightly tilted for best support. There were three main styles of Greek columns.Doric columns: Tall simple columns. The had round tops and no bases. Decoration was a minimum, and usually consisted of fluted lines running lengthwise down the column, if there was any decoration at all.Ionic columns: These were slighty dressier, and often had scrollwork at the top and or bottom of the column. Sometimes the entire column was carved out to be a statue of a god, goddess, or hero. When they were not carved into characters, they were more heavily fluted than the Doric columns.Corinthean columns: These were very eleaberate and elegant columns. They were slender compared to the Doric and Ionic columns, and the detail work was more intricate and leafy. The tops and bases were heavily decorated. The Temple of Zues is noted for its use of this type of column.
