How does the architecture of Etruscan temples compare and contrast with that of Greek temples?

What will be an ideal response?


The ideal Answer should include:
1. Etruscan temples resembled Greek temples because both are post-and-lintel structures with gabled roofs.
2. The bases, column shafts, and capitals of Etruscan temples are similar to those of the Greek Doric or Ionic orders.
3. Etruscan temples differed from the Greek temples in that their raised base had only one staircase leading to a columned porch on one short side of the rectangular temple.
4. Greek temples, however, had a uniformly stepped stereobate and continuous peristyle colonnade that surrounded the cella.
