'I'he fa9ade of this beautiful temple is divided equally into three parts
;
J
is given to the
entablature, and the other two to the columns and their intercolumniations. The outer
columns are 3 feet
4
-85 inches in diameter, and all the others 3 feet 3-4
inches. The middle
intercolumniation is 5 feet 3-95 inches, the next two each 5 feet
4-05
inches, and those
towards the angles 4 feet 6-35
inches. The diameters taken together are 20 feet, and the
intercolumniations 25 feet, so that the columns and their spaces are not in equal proportions:
the former would have required a diameter of 3 feet 9 inches, which would have made
them nearly five diameters in height, instead of what they are; they would have been heavier,
it is true, but more in accordance with the early examples.
The Hexastyle Temples at Rhamnus, Suiiium, Eyina, Eleusis, and Phygalia,
are not suffi*
ciently perfect to enal)le us to decide whether our principles would apply to them ; but
from the judgment we can form from their remains, they appear to have been all comprised
in a square and a half, and their entablatures and pediments in the proportion of a third
of the whole.
The Hexastyle Temple at Segesta in Sicily is sufficiently perfect to enable us to judge of
its entire proportions.
