- Phidias's statue is truly famous,beautiful and elegant. This Model gives a good idea of its apperance and setting. It was a chryselephantine statue,that is,fashioned if gold and ivoy.
- It stood 38feet tall, and to a large extend the parthenon was designed around it.
- Athena was fully armed with shield, spear, and helmet and she held Nike in her extended right hand.
