EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking image showcases the once magnificent statue of Zeus, the king of the gods in Greek mythology, as it stood proudly in the Temple of Zeus at Olympia, Greece. Carved by the renowned Greek sculptor Phidias around 435 BC, the colossal statue was a true marvel of the ancient world, measuring approximately 12 meters high and intricately crafted from ivory and gold-plated bronze. The statue depicted Zeus in his throne, holding a scepter in one hand and a small statue of Nike, the goddess of victory, in the other. The god was dressed in a chiton, a long tunic, and himation, a cloak, both adorned with intricate designs and precious stones. Unfortunately, the passage of time took its toll on this historical masterpiece. The temple and its contents were slowly but surely destroyed by various natural disasters and acts of nature. Fire, floods, earthquakes, and landslides all contributed to the demise of the temple and the statue of Zeus. Despite efforts to preserve the statue, it was eventually lost to history, leaving only fragments and descriptions from ancient texts as reminders of its former grandeur. This image, captured by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to imagine the awe-inspiring sight of the statue of Zeus in its prime. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of ancient Greece and the enduring legacy of Phidias' masterful creation.
