Biography
In 435 BCE, Phidias finished the work on the Statue of Zeus in the Sanctuary of Olympia.[1]
In 431 BCE, the Spartan misthios Kassandra learned that the Cult of Kosmos wanted Phidias dead.[2] When she reached Athens and met Perikles, he asked her to help Phidias escape the polis. Kassandra did as asked, escorting Phidias to the island of Seriphos.[3]
Sometime later, Phidias moved on from Seriphos, and in 428 BCE he was back in Sanctuary of Olympia, working again in his workshop. There, he met Kassandra again, and asked her help to decode a message.[4]
Trivia
- Historically, Phidias died in 430 BCE after being imprisoned by political enemies of Perikles, in Athens. Alternatively, it was said that he was put to death by the Eleans after he had completed the Statue of Zeus for them.
