104 colossal columns
the temple of athena nike was finished around 420 bc, during the peace of nicias. it is a "tetrastyle" (four column) ionic structure with a colonnaded portico at both front and rear facades ("amphiprostyle"), designed by the architect kallikrates. the columns along the east and west fronts were monolithic columns. the temple ran 8 metres (27 ft) long by 5.5 metres (18.5 ft) wide and 7 metres (23 ft) tall. the total height from the stylobate to the acme of the pediment while the temple remained intact was a modest 7 metres (23 ft). the ratio of height to diameter of the columns is 7:1, the slender proportions creating an elegance and refinement not encountered in the normal 9:1 or 10:1 of ionic buildings. constructed from white pentelic marble, it was built in stages as war-starved funding allowed.
