Editing Entablature (section)

=== Corinthian ===
The [[Corinthian order]] adds a far more ornate cornice, divided, from bottom to top, into the [[cyma reversa]], the dentils, the [[ovolo]], the [[modillion]]s, the fascia, and the [[cyma recta]]. The modillions are ornate brackets, similar in use to dentils, but often in the shape of [[acanthus (ornament)|acanthus]] leaves.

The frieze is sometimes omitted&mdash;for example, on the portico of the caryatides of the [[Erechtheum]]&mdash;and probably did not exist as a structure in the [[temple of Diana at Ephesus]]. Neither is it found in the Lycian tombs, which are reproductions in the rock of timber structures based on early Ionian work.<ref name=EB1911/> The entablature is essentially an evolution of the primitive [[lintel]], which spans two posts, supporting the ends of the roof rafters.
