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.

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
