EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the grandeur and majesty of the Columns of the Temple of Olympian Zeus in Athens, Greece. The Temple, dedicated to the king of the gods, Olympian Zeus, is an iconic symbol of ancient Greek heritage and a testament to the architectural prowess of the ancient Greeks. The photograph, taken in sepia tones, adds an air of nostalgia and timelessness to the image. The columns, with their intricately fluted Corinthian design, tower tall against the clear blue sky, their once white marble now weathered and worn, adding to their rugged charm. The ruins of the temple, though ruined, still exude an aura of power and grandeur. The Temple of Olympian Zeus, built between 515 BC and 438 BC, was once the largest temple in Greece, with 104 Ionic columns surrounding the temple. However, only 15 of these columns remain standing today, making this photograph a rare and precious glimpse into the past. The photograph, taken using a stereoscopic camera, adds an extra dimension to the image, allowing the viewer to experience the depth and scale of the columns in a unique and immersive way. The Underwood & Underwood photographers, known for their meticulous attention to detail and high-quality photography, have captured the essence of this ancient ruin, making it a must-have for any history or archaeology enthusiast's collection.
