    The Greeks developed the classical orders of architecture, with the temple as their major architectural element. The orders, including the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian styles, feature columns with standardized proportions between the shaft, base, and capital that support an entablature divided into architrave, frieze, and cornice sections. The orders embodied a rational system of beauty and proportion that defined Greek architectural design.
