	PHEIDIAS
		It is said of Phidias that he alone had seen the exact image of the gods and that he revealed it to man. He established forever general conceptions of Zeus and Athena.
		Among works for which Phidias is famous are three monuments to Athena on the Athenian Acropolis (the Athena Promachos, the Lemnian Athena, and the colossal Athena Parthenos for the Parthenon) and the colossal seated Zeus for the Temple of Zeus at Olympia; none of these survives in the original.
		Phidias and his assistants were also responsible for the marble sculptures that adorned the Parthenon.

	Phidias (c. 490-432 B.C.)
		PHIDIAS, by common consent the greatest sculptor of antiquity, was an Athenian, the son of Charmides, of a family of artists, and exactly a contemporary of Pericles and Sophocles.
		But Phidias is universally spoken of as the designer and presiding genius of the entire decoration; and, although some of the metopes are probably of an earlier school, the colossal groups of the pediments and the whole of the frieze have the stamp of one master mind.
		Phidias is said to have declared that he drew his ideal of the gods from the description of Homer.

		Great as was the fame of Phidias in after ages, we are left in almost complete ignorance as to the circumstances of his life.
		If he was really the author of certain works ascribed to him, he must have been born about 500 B.C. This would make him as old, perhaps, as Myron.
		The most famous works of Phidias were the two chryselephantine statues to which reference has just been made, and two or three other statues of the same materials were ascribed to him.

	Phidias' Workshop (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Seen here at a distance is the remains of the Byzantine church that was constructed on the foundations of a building later discovered to be the workshop of the sculptor Phidias.
		This decision was made based on the finding of tools, clay models for parts of the great statue of Zeus, and, most importantly and interestingly, a cup inscribed with "I belong to Phidias" (PHIDIOU EIMI) in Greek.
		The dimensions of the workshop are the same as that of the cella of the temple to Zeus in the same site, leading to the not illogical conclusion that Phidias made the colossal chryselephantine statue that stood in the temple, later christened one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, in this studio.
