Why did the Greek columns bulge in the middle?
In many cases, such as in the Parthenon the rows of columns would appear to be concave (an optical illusion) because of the fluting, or the lines, that run from the top to bottom of the columns. The Greeks knew this however, so they figued out how to build up the middle of the pillars to make them appear strait.

Why was the Greek column invented?
I have found that the Corinthian Order of column has on it the Acanthus leaf. This is one of the oldest Mediterranean flowers and represents long, enduring life. Also, in Christianity, the thorny leaf of the Acanthus flower was known to represent pain, sin, and punishment (due to Christianity trying to get attention away from the looking toward several gods). In Mediterranean countries, it represents immortality (sorry for the spelling errors)

The optical refinements of the columns were such things like the fact they bulged slightly in the middle and the corner columns were slightly bigger and inclined inwards making everything look straight when looking at it. As for the temple, the floors tend to be more built up in the middle so it doesn't look like it sags.
