Why did the Greek columns bulge in the middle?
In many cases, such as in the Parthenon the rows of columns would appear to be concave (an optical illusion) because of the fluting, or the lines, that run from the top to bottom of the columns. The Greeks knew this however, so they figued out how to build up the middle of the pillars to make them appear strait.

Why was the Greek column invented?
I have found that the Corinthian Order of column has on it the Acanthus leaf. This is one of the oldest Mediterranean flowers and represents long, enduring life. Also, in Christianity, the thorny leaf of the Acanthus flower was known to represent pain, sin, and punishment (due to Christianity trying to get attention away from the looking toward several gods). In Mediterranean countries, it represents immortality (sorry for the spelling errors)

Is the Parthenon uneven?
Yes, the apparently upright, tapering columns on the Parthenon actually lean inwards slightly and bulge in the middle. This is to compensate for the effects of perspective, which visually distorts straight lines and accurate alignments. For the same reason, the Parthenon frieze is sculpted in deeper relief towards the top and the building's base and steps are higher in the middle than at the edges.
