Technical Observations on the Sculptures from the Temple of Zeus at Olympia
Abstract
An understanding of the processes in building a Greek temple and of the processes in creating large marble sculpture supports the idea that the metopes and pedimental sculptures were installed unfinished in the Temple of Zeus at Olympia. This study then reconstructs the history of the sculptures after their installation in order to understand what Pausanias saw during his visit in the mid-2nd century A.D.
