Was built by a Greek sculptor named Phidias The statue was built around 435 B.C. When it was built it was about 40 feet tall The statue was built in Olympia just 150 km west of Athens
It was man made It was made of ivory and gold-plated wood To the Greeks the statue was not detailed enough so the statue is now limited because they added details The statue of Zeus was enclosed in a cave and became a wonder of the world
The statue became the most famous statue right after it was built(it was built in ancient times) On of the things that was added to the structure was a kings rod in Zeus hand After that it was taken to Constantinople where it was burned to shreds
It was built to shrine the Greek god Zeus for the Greeks to honor The statue was also built to represent the leader of the gods, Zeus It was a symbol of perfection to the ancient Greeks. They used it as an inspiration
