Although such an image is stereotypical, the Greeks actually had a wide range of architectural design. Everything from their rivalries to the materials available contributed to the structure of each temple or monument. A more lengthy description can be found here.

Like the Greeks of old, the quest to create continues in our day. Although their goal was to impress their Gods, some modern builders (such as myself) aim to impress a much smaller demographic. An inch-tall demographic.
