The Doric style is rather sturdy and its top (the capital), is plain.
The columns are fluted.
This style was used in mainland Greece and the colonies in southern Italy and Sicily.

It is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece, generally considered
the zenith of the Doric order.
Its decorative sculptures are considered some of the high points of Greek art.

The Corinthian style is seldom used in the Greek world, but often seen on Roman temples.
The capital is very elaborate and decorated with acanthus leaves
