Step-by-step explanation:
The Corinthian order is the third of the Greek sculptural orders (chronologically) and was born through the "decorative enrichment" of the Ionian order.
The Corinthian order has as characteristics: the existence of a more worked base than the previous ones; of a thinner stem than in the Ionic order; an inverted bell-shaped capital consisting of two rows of acanthus leaves that are still very stylized, with curved outwards, topped by four small volutes at the corners; finally, the existence of an entablature and a pediment, which were loaded with decorative relics and precision in detail, to symbolize ambition, wealth and power.
The monuments that adopted this order were: the Coregic Monument of LisÃcrates and the Temple of Zeus.
