The Greeks have ruled the architectural world by producing many outstanding structures, and the Hellenic people are said to have brought heaven to earth through these magnificent pieces which include the great temples built in the name of the Greek gods.
Using a combination of creativity and intellect, the Greeks produced many public buildings of great architectural value.
The Hellenistic period provided some of the best and most distinctive structures in the form of temples, theaters, and stadia which once were the main features of ancient towns and cities.
The simplicity, harmony, and perspective in Greek architecture was the foundation of Roman architecture as well. Ancient Greek architects strove for excellence and precision which indeed are the hallmarks of Greek art.

Building and raising an environmental, cultural and economic awareness is a part of ethos in our society
In Ancient Greece the citizens were working hard to keep a democratic ethos alive in the community.
Ethos means “custom” or “character” in Greek. As originally used by Aristotle, it referred to a man’s character or personality, especially in its balance between passion and caution.
Today ethos is used to refer to the practices or values that distinguish one person, organization, or society from others.
