THE GREEK TEMPLE
The Ancient Greeks lived in a world of gods; immortal, although subjugated to human feelings, from wrath to jealousy and envy. To worship them, and as corollary of their advanced architectural knowledge, they built temples. However, unlike with modern religions, the temples were not used by ordinary people for worship. Instead, they were homes for statues of gods, which were tended to by priests. Ceremonies and festivals took place outside of the temple. They are now considered icons of Greek civilisation.
