Ionic and Corinthian are two distinct orders of classical architecture. The Ionic order is characterized by its slender, fluted columns topped with scroll-like capitals and a more elongated proportion, often seen as more graceful and feminine. In contrast, the Corinthian order features taller, more ornate columns with elaborate capitals adorned with acanthus leaves, making it the most decorative of the three classical orders. While both styles emphasize elegance, the Corinthian order is generally considered more flamboyant than the simpler Ionic.
The three orders of Greek architecture are Doric, Ionic and Corinthian.
