I think this makes a curious image as to how proactive the Greeks were. I believe this is why temples were constructed in this manner. Greeks were thinking ahead to the people who would construct buildings after them. By creating a building this way, the people to come after Greeks would have to respect the qualities of the buildings. Even the Greeks who followed in later generations would find construction near these temples to be difficult. I think the Greeks of this time realized later peoples may be different,and this could have contributed to the structure planning of these temples.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16123927392766069730noreply@blogger.com
