  Hermogenes of Priene   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Hermogenes' rules on symmetry and proportion define what Vitruvius calls "eustyle" (eu stylos "right column"), an architectural ideal that prescribed a series of proportional relationships for temples that was all derived from the diameter of the column, as a module or unit of measure.
The result is that sculptural elements of Hermogenes' Artemision are scattered among the Pergamum Museum, Berlin, the Louvre Museum, Paris and Istanbul.
Hermogenes was also the architect of the hexastyle peripteral Temple of Dionysus in Teos, also mentioned by Vitruvius.

Consequently, archaeologists have been curious to rediscover the site of Hermogenes' temple, traces of which are not apparent.Even the site of the colony of the mother-city of Magnesia in Thessaly was not established until W. Leake got the site correctlyidentified in 1824 (Journal of a Tour in Asia Minor pp 242ff).
The result is that sculptural elements of Hermogenes' Artemision are scattered among the PergamumMuseum, Berlin, the Louvre Museum, Paris and Istanbul.

 Hermogenes
Hermogenes of Tarsus, was a Greek rhetorician, surnamed the polisher.
He lived in the reign of Marcus Aurelius (AD His precocious ability secured him a public appointment as teacher of his art while he was only a boy; but at the age of twenty-five his faculties gave way, and he spent the remainder of his long life in a state of intellectual impotence.
There seems to have been yet another Hermogenes of Tarsus, who we remember for being put to death by Emperor Domitian because of some allusions in his History.

 VITRUVIUS
We can not admit that Vitruvius should have made such a mistake in situating his great predecessor in the wrong town; furthermore he is very meticulous in situating the examples of each style in their context; suddenly he should have ommitted this in his mention of 'a' temple of Apollo built by Menesthes.
Hermogenes was clearly one of the most influential architects of this period.
Hermogenes, who lived at the end of the third and the beginning of the second century B.C., was the most important architect of the hellenistic period in the Greek world.

However the depth of the opisthodomos is so narrow that could be the tetrastyle-amphiprostylos that was suggested by Dr. Mustafa Uz.
The placement and proportion of the columns are in relation with the earlier works of Hellenistic architect Hermogenes which also supported by the epigraphical evidences that the temple was in fact built in the Hellenistic period.

Hence from the walls to the front of the lower part of the columns, there will be an interval equal to two intercolumniations and the thickness of a column all round.
Its proportions were discovered by Hermogenes, who was also the inventor of the octastylos or pseudodipteral formation.
I have been thus particular on the pseudodipteros, because it displays the skill and ingenuity with which Hermogenes designed those his works; which cannot be but acknowledged as the sources whence his successors have derived their best principles.

1 Following Alexander the Great, the classic Greek city states weakened; the kingdoms of the Hellenistic world attained positions of leadership; wealth flowed to their cities (Pergamon, Ephesos, Miletos, Priene and Antioch), so that the cities east of the Ionian Sea (modern Turkey, to a lesser extent Syria) were bridges between East and West.
The gods are no longer so closely tied to their natural origins; they have become great urban gods.
It continued to be a major centre of influence, though many of the formerly independent cities (Miletus, Priene, Magnesia, Smyrna, etc.) were downgraded or faded away (in some cases, because the harbours became so badly silted up that they were unusable).

In small temples, sculptors and architects were employing strict canons of proportion, as seen in the Ionic temple of Athena at Priene designed about 340 BC by Pythius, who also wrote a theoretical book that was known to the Roman architect VITRUVIUS.
The rise of Macedonia and the conquests of Alexander the Great heralded the Hellenistic period (usually dated 323-86 BC), when royal patrons favored the Panhellenic sanctuaries, founded new cities in Syria and Egypt, and embellished such cities as EPHESUS and PERGAMUM in Anatolia.
Several temples had exterior Corinthian columns, such as the colossal temple of Zeus Olympius in Athens, begun in 174 BC.

Fleury in his edition of 1990 thinks Vitruvius is using different sources for his description: in book III he clearly uses Hermogenes while in this chapter he uses another, not mentioned source, and confuses things.
I tried a lot of calculations myself but couldn’t come to a satisfactory result.
Also a comparison between the text and archaeological remains of different temples of Hermogenes and his colleagues and the period of Vitruvius stayed without result.
