The Ohio Statehouse
Classical Greek revival was the architecture of choice at that time the Ohio statehouse was built because the Americans had only recently claimed their independence from England. ... The large Doric row of pillars is also a good example of the Greek revival architecture incorporated into the Ohio statehouse’s design. ... The murals represent four enduring themes in Ohio culture. ... Each mural depicts what appears to be the Greek goddess Athena representing the four themes in Ohio culture, since Athena was the goddess of wisdom. Perhaps when the painters portrayed the murals, they kept with the Classical Greek theme and incorporated the woman in the mural to represent Athena to bring wisdom to the state of Ohio for art, justice, manufacturing and agriculture.
