The Statue of Zeus at Olympia
There was absolutely no argument about the Statue
of Zeus. It was a world wonder everyone knew
that!
Zeus was the king of the ancient Greek gods.
Olympia was the city that hosted the Ancient
Greek Olympic Games. The statue could have been
the size of a peanut, and still the Ancient
Greeks would have selected it. But it truly was a
magnificent structure.

The Statue of Zeus at Olympia
The Temple of Zeus was completed in 456 BCE.
It was built in Olympia to honor Zeus and the
Greek Olympic Games.
Like the Parthenon and the Temple of Artemis,
Doric columns were used to support the structure.
