Temple of Zeus

The Temple of Zeus was a temple dedicated to the god Zeus in the Sanctuary of Olympia in Elis, Greece.

History

Around 435 BCE the renowned Athenian sculptor Phidias finished the massive statue of Zeus made of gold and ivory, considered one of the Wonders of the World.[1]

During the 428 BCE Olympic Games the temple was visited by the Spartan misthios Kassandra with her friend Barnabas.[2] She visited the temple again at the request of the sculptor Phidias soon after.[3]
