EDITORS COMMENTS
The Philippeion, a stunning example of ancient Greek art and architecture, stands proudly in the sacred precinct of Altis in Olympia, Greece. Dated back to the 4th century BC, this Ionic circular memorial was erected by the Athenian sculptor Leochares in celebration of Philip II of Macedon's victory at the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 BC. The monument is unique in the Altis, as it is the only structure dedicated to a human. The Philippeion is made of ivory and gold, with intricately carved Ionic columns adorning its exterior. The monument originally contained statues of the Philips family, including Philip II, Alexander the Great, Olympias, Amyntas III, and Eurydice I. The architrave is adorned with scrollwork, adding to the monument's ornate design. The monument's circular shape and the use of the Ionic order reflect the Greek architectural style of the time. The Philippeion's ruins, with their scrolls and intricate capitals, still exude an air of grandeur and majesty. The landscape surrounding the monument, with its lush greenery and scenic beauty, adds to the monument's serene and peaceful atmosphere. The Philippeion is a testament to the artistic and architectural prowess of the ancient Greeks. Its remains continue to captivate and inspire visitors to this day, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of ancient Greece.
