The Interiors of Greek Temples
The exteriors of Greek temples, stoas, and monuments have had an enormous aesthetic impact on many subsequent architectural styles and periods. Typically photographers of ancient Greek buildings artfully position their cameras to catch finely sculpted columns and entablature against a pellucid blue sky. From the Archaic to the Hellenistic period we see a rich blossoming of architectural ornamentation, attention to lighting, and increasing accommodation to the experience of the devotees inside the building. Furnishings were added to the built structure that enhanced the atmosphere of an honorable and worthy setting for the cherished statue: paintings, tapestries, lamps, tables, thrones, cupboards and chests of votive offerings, and commemorative offerings of all sorts such as shields, armor, and historical and natural relics. This chapter describes the highlights of these developments and customs according to recent research, so as to give a more complete picture (inside as well as out) of Greek temples.
