Description
Reconstruction drawing of the Temple of Zeus at Olympia by Constantinos Doxiadis. Doxiadis P. 87. "Doric peripteral temple, 6 x 13 columns on a crepidoma of 3 unequal steps. An east opening cella, with pronaos and opisthodomos both distyle in antis. Two rows, each of 7 Doric columns with superimposed Doric columns, divided the cella into 3 aisles. The statue on its enormous base was separated from public access by a barrier which ran between the columns of the side aisles and across the cella at the 2nd column and behind the statue base. The temple was approached by a ramp on the east,"--Perseus Digital Library.
