SPACES SACRED AND PROFANE
1 The trireme, so called because on each side of the ship were three banks of oars, enabling the craft to be highly maneuverable and to travel at lightning speeds. The bow was very strong and used for ramming other ships. Each trireme had a crew of 200, 170 of whom were oarsmen, the rest soldiers, archers, and sailors. Triremes were first built at Corinth in the late seventh century B.C. By the time of the Peloponnesian War, Athens owned 300. This trireme is a modern replica, but based on exacting research.

2 The temple of Poseidon at Paestum, Italy, is imposing but thick and a little crude when compared with more noble examples. (photo credit 1.2 )
3 The graceful Parthenon, temple to the Virgin (Athena), on the Athenian Acropolis (photo credit 1.3)
4 The temple of Fortuna Virilis at Rome, a fine example of a smaller temple inspired by Greek originals and inspiring architecture of later ages, such as the public monuments of Washington, D.C. (photo credit 1.4)
5 Early-fifth-century B.C. fragments from the tympanum of the temple of Zeus at Olympia. The tympanum was an elongated triangular panel on the front of a temple, framed by the horizontal cornice above the pillars and the two sides of the slanting roof. One can still trace above the figures the line of the left side of the roof, slanting upward (from lower left to upper right) toward the roof’s apex. It was a challenge for the artist to devise a scene that would occupy this squished space. From the left, a hero of the Lapith tribe struggles with a centaur, symbol of animality, who is attempting to carry off Hippodamia, queen of the Lapiths. (photo credit 1.5)
