The statue of Zeus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was reportedly set on fire in 462 AD during a riot in the city of Constantinople, where it had been relocated from Olympia. This event contributed to the statue's eventual destruction over time, as it was no longer maintained and suffered from neglect. The statue was originally crafted by the sculptor Phidias around 435 BC and was housed in the Temple of Zeus at Olympia, Greece.
