here is some of the notes i took today from all the power points that we presented in class  

greek life was centered around religion

frieze
- a  friezeis a long narrow band of sculptures that run along a boarder
Doric columns are very sturdy they are very plain
pantheon - temple for athen parthons
ionic - are much thinner and more elegant
erectheum ionic order built between 421 - 405 BC
 corinthian columns are seldomly used in ancient Greece
building began in the 6th century


The ancient Greeks built great temples and sanctuaries to their gods
They held festivals in their honour, with processions, sports, sacrifices and competitions


The picture to the right is called, Hephaisteion, it is temple in Athens that was built for the god Hephaistos and the goddess Athena
