What parts make up a Greek temple?

Pediment – the roof of the temple and the decoration at the front Entablature – made up of various parts for structure and decoration Columns Base – slightly curved (although it didn’t look it!) so that rain water might run off

COLUMNS Greek columns were made up of several different pieces. The four most important parts of the column are highlighted in red.

TYPES OF COLUMN

ENTABLATURE

PEDIMENTS (triangley bits) Often decorated with dramatic sculpted scenes, usually of the gods and goddesses.

METOPES (stripey bits) Little squares often filled with sculpted decorations. Sometimes these sculptures showed scenes from mythological stories.

FRIEZE Long strips of sculpted decoration that ran around the top of the inside layer of the temple. Perhaps the most famous example are the Parthenon friezes in the British Museum.
