Answer 1

If I were an ancient architect making a temple based on Ancient Greek architecture, I would construct it of marble. I would decorate it with many marble statues of varying Greek gods. The largest of the statues would be the Zeus, as he would be the focus of my temple. This building would be constructed out of marble, a material Greeks used often. I would use one portico in the front of the building, as well as a portico in the back of the temple. This would make the temple easier to access or exit, depending on which side you were closer to. I would have many marble columns around the two entrances. There would be six of these columns, and they would all be Corinthian style columns, to give my temple a grand appearance.
