The subject for my abstract is the statue of Zeus in Olympia. The statue was fashioned by Phidias and occupied half the width of the aisle of the large temple built to house it. "It seems that if Zeus were to stand up‚" the geographer Strabo said in the 1st century BC‚ "he would sunroof the temple.” The statue was a chryselephantine sculpture‚ made with ivory and gold panels on a wooden substructure. No copy in marble or bronze has lasted this long‚ though that can be recognized by only certain kinds

Olympian god was Zeus; the son of Titans Cronus and Rhea. When Zeus had grown to maturity‚ he waged war against his father with his disgorged brothers and sisters as allies.

As I keep on reading the story‚ more and more questions keep on rehearsing my mind as I try to solve the case as well
