Monumentality and Foreign Influence in Early Greek Temples
The term “monumental” is generally understood to mean of large size, and to thus convey a sense of impressiveness to the beholder. In architecture it also conveys permanence, referring to construction in nonperishable materials. This chapter traces their introduction and development in Greek temples from the earliest evidence in Geometric times (eighth century) through the Orientalizing (circa 700–600 bce) and Archaic (circa 600–480 bce) periods. Many early Greek buildings had walls of wattle‐and‐daub or mudbrick, which may have been reinforced or supported by wood and slightly elevated on a stone socle. The combination of stone and mudbrick continued for houses throughout the Greek period. Sources for the peristyle are equally difficult to pinpoint. Egyptian architecture is well known for the use of freestanding supports, either rectangular pillars or rounded columns. The Greeks developed two major architectural orders, labeled Doric and Ionic by the Roman architect Vitruvius.
