It was created around the fifth century B.C. by the sculptor Callimachus, and was named after the city of Corinth. Callimachus got the idea after seeing leaves around a goblet. The base and column are very much like the Ionic Order, but its capitol is by far, the most stunning and beautiful part. The capitol has carved, two tiers of curled, acanthus leaves. The oldest known Corinthian columns are located in the temple of Apollo Epicurius. Bibliography 477 Bull St. 2 E Bay St. Doric Order The Doric Order is the oldest and simplest column. Doric columns were without bases, they had 20 parallel, concave grooves, and had a flat capitol. It was used by both the Greeks and the Romans, and was used in the Parthenon. The Doric Order was made by the Greeks around the seventh century B.C. 121 Barnard St. The Ionic Order was made around the sixth century B.C. It originated in the Ionian Islands. It was used for smaller buildings and interiors. It has what looks like scrolls below the capitol. It is believed that the scrolls represented animal horns or nautilus shells. The scrolls are called the volutes. The Ionic Order is seen on the temple to Athena Nike, which is located at the entrance to Athens's Acropolis. 6 W.
