The Statue of Zeus at Olympia was a massive chryselephantine sculpture commissioned in around 440 BC and completed in 456 BC. It was housed in the Temple of Zeus at Olympia, located in ancient Olympia on the western coast of Greece. The statue was over 12 meters tall and depicted Zeus seated on a throne. It was sculpted by Phidias and was considered one of the greatest works of Greek art and one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. However, it was later destroyed in a fire in the 5th century AD.
