The Statue of Zeus at Olympia was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, created around 435 BCE by the sculptor Phidias. It stood approximately 40 feet tall, filling the entire height of the Temple of Zeus. The statue was made using chryselephantine technique, with ivory skin and gold-draped robes over a wooden core. Zeus was depicted seated on a massive throne decorated with ebony, ivory, and precious stones, holding a figure of Nike in one hand and a scepter in the other. Ancient write
