### What we know about The Statue of Zeus at Olympia: A Masterpiece of Ancient Greece
The Statue of Zeus at Olympia was one of the most awe-inspiring wonders of the ancient world, embodying the pinnacle of Greek artistic and religious expression. Created by the renowned sculptor Phidias around 435 BC, this monumental statue stood in the Temple of Zeus at Olympia, a site revered for hosting the original Olympic Games. Despite its eventual destruction, the legacy of the Statue of Zeus endures through historical descriptions and archaeological evidence, providing a glimpse into its grandeur.
Commissioned to honor the king of the Greek gods, the Statue of Zeus was a majestic representation, approximately 12 meters (40 feet) tall. It depicted Zeus seated on a magnificent throne, exuding both majesty and authority.
