English: Columns were the main weight-bearing supports of public buildings in ancient Greece. Smaller buildings used the walls, but often featured columns in front as a decorative element. Since nearly all the buildings at Olympia were public and large-size, nearly all featured weight-bearing columns. The Greeks made them graceful. They were fluted (vertical grooves), tapered, bowed at the center, and topped by a bearing element, the capital. They stood upon a flat surface, the crepidroma. Columns were assembled from drums and therefore collapsed in drums. Drums unable to be associated with any building were stored by the excavators in arrays at convenient locations throughout the site. Otherwise most photographs are duplicates of those presented under the name of the building.
