Texte au verso

2371. We are at the extreme southeastern edge of Athens. The modern city lies ahead of us and off at our right. "This temple of Olympian Zeus is the largest of Greek temples with the exception of the Artemision at Ephesus. After Peisistratos and his sons had begun the gigantic work it apparently lay for some time as he left it. More than three hundred years in fact pass before we hear of anything more being done on it; then Antiochus Epiphanes is said to have taken up the scheme. Hadrian, when he came to Athens, three hundred years later, with all the resources that the Roman empire could supply, probably found little except the work of Peisistratos which would be of any help to him. He apparently took the gigantic stylobate of Peisistratos as it was, but put a marble course above it.*** This temple had two rows of columns all around it, and at the front a third row. By good luck, the architrave blocks held in their places at the southeast corner thirteen of the mighty columns, fifty-six and a half fett hight ; *** the mere size is overpowering. Aristotle puts this in the same category as the Pyramids of Egypt, as one of the colossal works of despots. *** We know nothing of the gold and ivory statute of Zeus in this temple, but we may well assume that it had not the grandeur of Phidias' Olympian Zeus at Olympia. The spirit that could create such works had passed away." From Greece through the Stereoscope. by Rufus B. Richardson, Ph. D.. copyright 1907 by Underwood & Underwood.
