Abstract
Ionic architecture, which is recognized with Samos (III) Rhoikos, Ephesos
Artemis, Didyma Apollon and Samos (IV) Polykrates temples in archaic Aegean
Architecture in 6th century B.C. should be developed from the architectural
tradition of West Anatolia and Aegean Islands. Ionic architecture is chiefly
known by its column type and decoration of entablature. Entablatures of early
ionic buildings are fairly important to make understand the relation between the
buildings and wooden architectural tradition of West Anatolia and Aegean
Islands, because the entablatures of Ionic building have two kinds of architectural
elements. Some of these architectural elements are functional such as the architrave. Others, for example geisipodes which is also named tooth-cut, has more
decorative usage than functional usage. Decorative and functional elements of
ionic entablature are important to support the theories which clamed that ionic
buildings have developed from wooden architecture. Not many entablatures of
archaic ionic buildings are so far recorded. But resent archaeological discoveries
such as the Polyxena Sarcophagus, Late Archaic In-antis in Labraunda and Early
Classical Building in Daskyleion are enough to propose new ideas about the usage
of architrav and geisipodes in early ionic architecture.
