Ancient Greek?

Hi everyone. So I want to made a 2D game with an Ancient Greek style. That is pre-rendered 2D graphics like Donkey Kong Country. I have some cloths, a boat and a few temple like structures but what I'm looking for are things like common houses or shops. A fort that looked Ancient Greek would be awesome. Any ideas?
It's a fantasy setting so it doesn't have to fit exactly, but any suggestions would be appreciated.

Which are you looking for Golden Age (Minoan, Mycenaean,Trojan) or Silver age (Athens, Sparta, Thebes)?
Well, I'd prefer Silver Age (Athens, Sparta, Thebes) but at this stage beggars can't be choosers. Like I said, there are plenty of cloths, weapons, temple like structures and a few ships but not much else. I think using medieval buildings would clash.
Sadly, there isnt a ton of Greek stuff, architecturally speaking. You can find some Roman and Doric stuff on DAZ tho. Roman doesn't *exactly* fit (since there are more archways) but you can kind of get by with it, since there's a ton of Greek influence there.

Yea, and what there is tends to be a ruin. Like the first 2 examples. I was contemplating going with something like this..

Witch I know is complacently wrong yet somehow still feels less jarring than medieval architecture.
Yeah, that is more Mesopotamian/ancient middle eastern. But I hear ya... Id love to see more Greek stuffs. I dont know why there's not more of it. I've always surmised that maybe it didn't sell well, but everything Greek I've done has sold good. If I could do architecture, I'd totally do some. Alas, it is my kryptonite lol
