About the Temple of Olympian Zeus
Also known as the Columns of the Olympian Zeus, this mythical temple in the heart of Athens city was built for the father of all Greek gods, Zeus. The credit for this iconic work of art goes to Athenian tyrants who started the construction of the Temple of Olympian Zeus in the 6th century BC.
