There were three main types of pillars on the building in Ancient Greece. The Doric pillars were sturdy and plain, it was used mainly in mainland Greece. It was also used in the colonies of southern Italy and Sicily.
The Ionic style was thinner and more elegant, with a scroll like design on the top. This style was found in eastern Greece and the islands. The Ionic style is used on the Temple of Apollo at Didyma.
The Temple of Apollo at Bassae uses the Corinthian style. This style is decorated with leaves form the Acanthus plant. It is very elaborate and formal, but scarcely used throughout the Greek world. The materials used to build Greek buildings with these pillars were stone, limestone, clay, and marble.

During the Archaic age, sculptors sculpted people. They made limestone Kouros (men), and Kores (women). These statues were mainly of naked, smiling people. The artists were trying to show perfection through human art form.
The Classical art age took place between 480-323 BC. This age was known as the Golden Age because it was the turning point for art. One of the most famous works of art was the statue Discobolos, or the discus thrower. This statue was made by Myron and it is in the Muse Nazioale of Romano, Rome.
