Temple of Zeus
Ancient Greek shrine
The Temple of Zeus was an ancient Greek sanctuary at Olympia, site of the original Olympic Games, housing one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World—a massive gold and ivory statue of the god.
The phrase now typically refers to any grand religious structure dedicated to Zeus: The ruins of the Temple of Zeus still draw tourists to Athens.
