Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANTHEMION (from the Gr. h.v8Epaw, a flower) , the conventional
design
  of flower or
leaf
  forms which was largely employed by the Greeks to decorate (r) the fronts of ante-fixae, (2) the upper portion of the
stele
  or
vertical
  tombstones, (3) the necking

of the Ionic columns of the Erechtheum and its continuation as a decorative
frieze
  on the walls of the same, and (4) the cymatium of a cornice. Though generally known as the
honeysuckle
 
ornament
 , from its resemblance to that flower, its origin will be found in the flower of the
acanthus
