Pericles had set up a massive building program to happen in Athens, and he set Phidias in charge of the entire project. ]]> 2019-12-18 18:39:09 UTC https://padlet.com/raybajraktari47/s9aflwx8kl6u/wish/425616845 raybajraktari47 https://padlet.com/raybajraktari47/s9aflwx8kl6u/wish/425618157 Phidias took a lot of inspiration from native Athenian art in his own sculptures.

A lot of his art portrayed images of mythological gods and goddesses. In fact, it has been said that “he alone had seen the exact image of the gods and that he revealed it to man.”]]> 2019-12-18 18:46:46 UTC https://padlet.com/raybajraktari47/s9aflwx8kl6u/wish/425620873 raybajraktari47 https://padlet.com/raybajraktari47/s9aflwx8kl6u/wish/425624444 Phidias was known to have died by the hand of Pericles' political rivals.
