Document Summary

Originally only base in stone and rest is wood. Capital on top of column acts as cushion. Alternation of triglyph and metope on top of architrave, which is on top of the capital; metope can have reliefs, painted, or not decorated. Building surrounded by columns; pronaos = front, cella (also naos) = main area/temple, opisthodomos = back, pteroma = surround area but still inside columns ( porch") Worship performed outside of temple but statue of deity can look out from cella through the pronaos to see the worship in their honour. Temple of artemis, corcyra, c. 580 bce, first temple entirely of stone. Continuous frieze instead of alternating triglyph and metope. Women always with white skin (always stayed inside), men usually with black skin (tanned due to working outside) Exekias, famous pottery painter, signed his names on his products, obsessed by ajax. Foreign painters also present in athens (e. g. amasis from egypt) Black-figures were not suitable for painting movement.
