Why Greeks did not use Corinthian order in building stoas
Thesis statement:

Idea3:
Corinthian order the last order of columns.
(this order never mentioned in Stoas planning, so I thought of making an argument about the cause, still searching for more supporting points that support my overall argument)
Supporting Point:

“at the end of this order there are some fussy details”
Conclusion:
In conclusion, greeks have separate their colomns and what they represent in three different category.
