Art: Classical Greece- Greek Temples Architecture

Every civilization that existed in the world has its own unique art form that distinguishes each civilization from each other. This is also evident in culture, religion, economy, and even artistic and architectural trends. Art and architecture greatly emphasizes the culture of these civilizations, making it easier for modern people to understand the past. There is ancient civilization such as ancient Greece, Greece, Etruria civilization, Roman Republic, Roman Empire etc.

This is a building reminiscent of classical history. The roots of classicism are the architecture of ancient Greece and Rome - the architecture of the ancient Greek temple and the religious, military and civil architecture of the Roman Empire. Styles contain a variety of traditional forms, especially columns (called orders), each with a fixed ratio and decoration (especially Doric, Ion, and Collins). The proportion, symmetry, and the relationship between each part and the whole are also features of classicism. However, because of that proportion, it is possible to express the building as a classic building even without the traps related to classical building.

Greek architectural theory - perhaps the most influential form of classical Greek art - based on "classical order" system - based on the proportion of building design rules between and between each part. This gives an aesthetically pleasing consistency to the appearance, regardless of the size or material used. In the initial Greek architecture there were three orders: Dorian, Ion, Collins. The Dorian style was common in the mainland of Greece and then spread to the Greek colony of Italy. Ion style is used in Ionian cities on the west coast of Turkey and other islands in the Aegean Sea. The Doric style is formal and simple, the ions are less restrained and more decorative. The third style, the Corinthian formula, appears later and represents a more gorgeous development of ion orders. The difference between these styles is most pronounced in the ratio of the base diameter to the column height.

The architecture of Greek classical architecture shows a unique marble temple characterized by three different orders: simple doll style, elegant Ionian style, and Corinthian style. The two previous styles are mixed. On the main Greek and Greek islands there are many ancient temples dedicated to various gods such as Delphi Temple of Apollo, Temple of Hephaestos of Athens, Temple of Athena of Aegina Island. However, the biggest Greek monument is the Parthenon temple built in the sanctuary of the Acropolis. The Parthenon temple was built between 447 and 438 BC and is a model of Dolich and Ionian architecture. The temple around this octagon has a collection of huge chryselephantine statues of the Athena Parthenon temple dedicated to the goddess Athena, the guardian of the town and carved by Fidias.
