Ξένη Αραπογιάννη, Ειρήνη Σπυροπούλου

Abstract


The excavation, which was conducted at "Petroula", north of the current settlement of Ano Melpeia in Messenia, revealed the remains of a peripteral temple, while the demolition of the modern church, which was built on the east side of the temple, exposed the components of a Doric entablature and a small number of column drums. In this article an analysis of the architecture and construction of the temple at Ano Melpeia is carried out and an attempt is made to restore the missing layer of stylobate on the euthynteria and the axial distances of the columns. At the same time, the special features of the Doric genus of the scattered members are presented  and an in-depth analysis is made to determine the architectural type of the building from which they originated. Finally, the entablature is applied to the facades of the temple, the issues arising from this combination are examined and the restored elevations are drawn in AutoCAD.
