| Video Discription | This is the Temple of Olympian Zeus segment of DIY Layover - Athens (ATH) and the host Charles Huang will visit this historic site and showcase it's history. This is a former colossal temple at the Athens' centre and dedicated to "Olympian" Zeus, a name originating from his position as head of the Olympian gods. Construction began in the 6th century BC during the rule of the Athenian tyrants, who envisaged building the greatest temple in the ancient world, but it was not completed until the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD, some 638 years after the project had begun. During the Roman period the temple, which included 104 colossal columns, was renowned as the largest temple in Greece and housed one of the largest cult statues in the ancient world. |
