		Naos (nay'-os, from the Greek ναύσ "ship", also known as Suhail Hadar or ζ Puppis), a white supergiant in the constellation of Puppis, is one of the brightest stars in the Milky Way, in terms of absolute magnitude.
		Naos is a term used in classical architecture to refer to the inner chamber of a temple which houses an idol.
		In the Ptolemaic period in Ancient Egypt, the Naos referred to that which is hidden and unknown inside the inner sanctum of a temple, existing in complete darkness, meant to symbolize the state of the universe before the act of creation.

	Greek Architecture - The Doric Order
		The naos is very long in proportion to its width, and has on either side a range of eight columns, alternately connected to the naos wall by short transverse walls.
		The naos and virgin's chamber were enclosed by walls about 4 ft. thick, and the whole temple was en-circled by an ambulatory 9 ft. wide on the sides and 11 ft. in the front and rear.
		On the eastern pediment is represented the birth of Athena, and on the western the contest of Athena and Poseidon for the soil of Attica.

	History \| Building \| Restoring Byzantium
		Theodore Metochites, minister and subsequently prime minister of the Byzantine Empire, during a short period of cultural revival, undertook the rebuilding and renovation of the Kariye Camii The greatest intellectual of his age, and thus knowledgeable and involved, he was wealthy and powerful and therefore in a position to assume the patronage of this church.
		Metochites early fourteenth-century rebuilding included the reconstruction of the naos dome; the pastophoria; the addition of a two-storied annex to the north, an inner and outer narthex to the west; and the parekklesion to the south.
		Naos: the main space for worship and ritual, in the center of the building and covered by a dome on pendentives.

	Temple of Apollo, Bassai
		Iktinos thus showed himself, in Gruben's words, "a leader of the avant-garde in architecture", carrying a stage farther the trend towards increased emphasis on the interior of the temple which is already evident in the Parthenon.
		At the far end of the naos, at the entrance to the adyton in which the cult image of the god was housed, there originally stood a column with a Corinthian capital - the earliest known use of this type.
		With this separate holy of holies within the naos, with its elongated ground-plan and its six by 15 columns, this temple of Apollo is reminiscent of the temple in the central sanctuary of Apollo at Delphi, which Iktinos reproduced here, reducing it in size by exactly a third.

	Greek Architecture - Comparative Analysis
		Whereas in Egyptian temple architecture walls are the chief external features, in Greek temple architecture columns are the chief external features, and even the naos itself is screened by the ubiquitous Greek columns.
		Openings.—Greek architecture was essentially a trabeated style, and openings were square-headed and spanned by a lintel.
		Roofs.—The inclination of the pediments was governed by the slope of the roof, which in temples was carried by the naos wall and surrounding colonnade, supplemented in larger buildings by columns in the naos, as at Paestum (p.

		City planning, ignored by the mainland Greeks, was cultivated by the Hellenistic architects, among them Hippodamus; from them the Romans doubtless acquired their concepts of monumental civic design.
		Of the three great styles or orders of architecture (Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian), the Doric was the earliest and the one in which the noblest monuments were erected.
		The next stage was the forming of freestanding porticoes, then a continuing of columns, flanking sides and ends, the naos thus being completely surrounded by a colonnade.

	Greek Architecture
		No other civilization’s architecture has been as widely praised and copied as that of Greece, as it has been accepted as the standard by which all periods of architecture may be tested.
		To the west of the naos was the Parthenon, or virgin’s chamber, from which the temple took its name, and differentiated this temple from most others.
		This chamber appears to have been used as the hieratic treasury, and was entered from the opisthodomos by a large doorway corresponding to the eastern one, and its roof was supported by four Ionic columns.

		A cella (from Latin for small chamber) or naos (from the Greek for temple), is the inner chamber of a temple in classical architecture.
		In Ancient Greek and Roman temples the cella is a room at the centre of the building, usually containing a cult image (execrated by Early Christians as an "idol") suited to the particular deity venerated in the temple.
		In early Christian and Byzantine architecture, the cella is an area at the centre of the church reserved for performing the liturgy.

	Margarita Koeva - The Bulgarian Orthodox Iconostasis
		Functionally seen, its role is to separate the altar area from the naos while providing a platform for those liturgical rites that are performed in the eyes of the congregation and yet remain semantically related to the altar.
		Preslavian architecture with its polychromic character and feel for minimalist decoration shapes is the covers of columns, cornices and rails, consisting of polychrome ceramic, precious stone and common stone pieces of various tints.
		On the central “sacral doors” of the iconostasis the Annunciation scene was painted, which was earlier seen on the pillars separating altar and naos, etc. Thus, the iconographic concept of the iconostasis partly originated from the initial distribution of images in the altar area.

	Classical Orders
		Whilst the domestic architecture of the Greeks and to a lesser extent of the Romans, was quite plain and simple, their public architecture, whether temples, public baths, or basilicas, was in most cases very elaborate so as to impress the spectator with the importance of the building and the wealth of its builders.
		According to the rules of classical architecture, the entablature should always be divisible into these three zones of cornice, frieze and architrave.
		Such imitation tended to be piecemeal with, in one building, column capitals carved to imitate Corinthian capitals, in another the columns fluted in imitation of ancient ones, and in a third the column bases carved in the same form as Roman bases.

		Distinctions in style and palette indicate three or more phases in the decoration, and the relative chronology of construction and decoration may be confirmed by the analysis of the pigments employed.
		On-site examination suggests that the naos and south narthex may be from the same phase of decoration--that is to say, the painting of the naos may have occurred only following the second construction phase.
		Finally, later repairs to the naos frescoes may correspond to the painting of the north narthex or of the parekklesion.

		It faces north, instead of east (as did its predecessor) and the statue of Apollo was placed in an adyton, or inner sanctuary, partially screened off from the naos proper and lighted from a large door in the eastern wall.
		On both sides of the naos are Ionic half-columns, attached to spur walls, the recesses thus formed with the main naos wall having a stone, coffered ceiling.
		Between the adyton and the naos was a single, free-standing column, with a Corinthian capital, and there may have been similar capitals over the engaged corner columns.
