Hermogenes is conceded to have been one of the most celebrated architects of antiquity. In addition to the temple of Bacchus which he designed for Teos, one of the eastern Ionian cities, and the birthplace of Anacreon, as well as other noted ancient characters, he erected in the city of Magnesia, in Lydia, a temple to Diana in the Doric order. About each of these temples he wrote a book, both of which were still in existence in the time of Augustus. In one he described the temple to Diana as a pseudodipteral, or false dipteral temple, a form which he invented. It is called false or imperfect because of the economy of the inside row of columns on each of the long sides of the cell, the outside row being allowed to remain. The effect from a distance was the same as a double row, while considerable expense was saved. The temple to Bacchus he described as a monopterus, or a round temple, having neither walls nor cell, but merely a roof sustained by columns. Hermogenes’s great ambition appears to have been a desire to foster and encourage the use of the Ionic order in preference to the Doric for temple construction. In this opinion he was later sustained by Tarchesius, another writer on architecture, who may be dated as sometime later than 470 B.C., and by Pytheus, whom we shall meet again as one of the architects of the tomb of Mausolus. Although Vitruvius mentions the origin of the Corinthian order in close connection with that of the Doric and Ionic, it must be borne in mind that Callimachus, whom he credits with the Corinthian, was a much later artist than Hermogenes. The use of the Corinthian column by the architect Scopas in the temple of Athene at Tegea in 396 B.C., has led to the inference that Callimachus must have lived prior to that date, and the fact that he gave to that style of architecture the appellation of Corinthian, that he was a native of Corinth. Lübke, in his “Outlines of the History of Art,” however, does not give to Callimachus the full and undisputed credit for originating the Corinthian style, claiming that the order existed before his time, although he does not mention when or where. Lübke would interpret the story of Callimachus and the basket as meaning that it was he who gave to the capital its final perfection. It is somewhat strange also that although Callimachus is conceded to have been the first to develop this order, if he did not absolutely invent it, there is no mention of any building having been designed by him in the Corinthian style.
