The Bronze Statue of Zeus of Artemision, created around 460–450 BCE, is one of the most remarkable surviving masterpieces of ancient Greek sculpture displayed in Athens. It showcases the artistic and technical mastery of the Classical period and remains an enduring symbol of ancient Greek civilization.
Scholars continue to debate whether the statue represents Zeus, the king of the gods, or Poseidon, the god of the sea. They were brothers, although fictitious, so their portrayals are often fairly similar.
