The Statue of Zeus at Olympia was a magnificent statue created by the famous Greek sculptor Phidias around 435 BC. Standing about 12 meters tall, it depicted the god Zeus seated on a grand throne, adorned with gold and ivory. This statue was housed in the Temple of Zeus in Olympia, a site known for the ancient Olympic Games. The statue was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World due to its incredible size and artistry. Unfortunately, it was destroyed in the 5th century AD, but its legacy continues to inspire awe and admiration for ancient Greek art and culture.
