    In the 450s, the Athenian general Pericles used the tribute money not only to help the citizens of Athens but to support the artist and thinkers too. He paid to rebuild the parts of Athens that the Persian Wars had destroyed. During this process, the Parthenon, a new temple in honor of the goddess Athena was built at the top of the Acropolis. Other incredible constructions were the temple at Hephaestus, the Odeon concert hall and the temple of Poseidon at Attica.

    • Ionic. Original from Ionia, its characterized by its graceful proportions, giving a more slender and elegant profile. Besides, it incorporates a running frieze of continuous sculptural relief

    • Corinthian order. It’s the most elaborated one and incorporates more vegetal elements. It was also used in the roman architecture
