The primal building, which is a mere
Temple piling or jointing together of ma/
terial, giving one no sense of growth
in the building itself and no sense
of the possibility of growth in the
stylejg?
The one Greek form of building
with which we are really familiar,
the columnar temple, though ah
ways built with blocks of stone, is
clearly a deduction from the wood''
en god's'house or shrine, which
was a necessary part of the equips
ment of the not very remote ances^
tors ofthePericlean Greeks;norhad
this godVhouse changed so much
as the city had changed from the
Tribe, or the Worship of the City
(the true religion of the Greeks)
