Why did the Greek columns bulge in the middle?

Why are Doric columns wider at the bottom than top?
Doric columns are designed with a slight taper, being wider at the bottom than at the top, to create an illusion of strength and stability. This optical effect, known as entasis, helps counteract the visual distortion that occurs when viewing straight lines from a distance, making the columns appear perfectly straight. Additionally, this design enhances their aesthetic appeal, conveying a sense of grandeur and solidity in classical architecture.
How did the Greeks counteract the fact that the columns of their buildings did not appear to have uniform width from top to bottom?
They did that through entasis, creating an optical illusion. Normally the columns would seem to become narrower higher up when you were looking up at them. Entasis, a little bulging out in the middle of the column segments made the column appear straight and of uniform width.
