Temple

Places · Rituals

A built house for a god or cult. Plans, priesthoods, and later metaphors of the body as temple are different uses of the word.

Hellenic religion

  • Temple appears in Hellenic religion.

    Pausanias’s Description of Greece walks temple after temple as the ordinary seats of cult. A named temple class in that periegesis, not shrine as a smaller mark and not every sacred building dump.

    from Pausanias · Description of Greece, c. 150–180 CE

  • Stylobate is used in Temple.

    Vitruvius’s Ten Books seat the continuous top step that carries a colonnade — the stylobate — in the proportioning of temples and their column ranks. A named stylobate in that order-handbook, not a bare plinth dump and not Pausanias’s temple-visitor walk alone.

  • Entablature is used in Temple.

    Vitruvius’s Ten Books seat the stacked architrave–frieze–cornice carried on columns as the entablature of temple orders. A named entablature in that handbook, not the cornice band alone already met and not a generic beam dump.

Roman religion

  • Temple appears in Roman religion.

    Virgil’s Aeneid seats temples among Juno’s Carthage precinct and Apollo’s Cumaean seat. Named temple buildings in that epic, not altar as the offering-stone and not every Greek naos dump.

  • Pilaster is used in Temple.

    Vitruvius’s Ten Books seat shallow rectangular engaged supports against walls among temple and hall fabric — pilaster speech beside freestanding columns. A named pilaster in that handbook, not a buttress pier and not a freestanding column dump.

  • Buttress is used in Temple.

    Vitruvius’s Ten Books seat projecting wall abutments that resist thrust among temple and public-wall fabric. A named buttress in that handbook, not a flying-buttress Gothic arch and not a pilaster strip alone.

Nahua tradition

  • Temple appears in Nahua tradition.

    Sahagún’s Florentine Codex records teocalli and temple precinct speech across gods’ books and feast chapters — named god-houses and their cult furniture. A colonial-era Nahua ethnographic attestation, not a pan-Mesoamerican essence and not an unfiltered pre-invasion voice.

European folklore
