Greece - Athens - Temple of Olympian Zeus detail

Surely this column at the Temple of Olympian Zeus wouldn't be too hard to put back together. Does anyone know is there's a story behind it's lack of verticality?

 

Further exhaustive research (okay, Wikipedia) has revealed that this was not a result of the gods playing Jenga, but the column blew over in a storm in 1852. That must have been some storm.
