Discover the Green Lightning of Zeus!
A statue of Zeus (some say it is a statue of Poseidon) stands in front of the second floor entrance to Building 6B, College of Art and Design.
Don't you think the ivy leaves growing on the exterior walls of the building resemble a thunderbolt strike, the bolt that the statue of Zeus is thought to have held in its right hand?
This is a bronze statue (BC) of what is believed to be Zeus or Poseidon in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens.460This is a replica of the 1950s model.
The room where the statue is located is used by students in the art support field for their research.6BRight next to the building entrance6B205It's a room.

At the entrance to Building 6B (2nd floor), a powerful statue of Zeus greets visitors—though some believe it may actually represent Poseidon.
Look closely: don't the vines climbing the outer wall resemble a thunderbolt—the divine weapon Zeus is believed to have held in his raised right hand?
This statue is a replica of the famous bronze sculpture dated to around 460 BC, thought to depict either Zeus or Poseidon, and now housed in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens.
Just beyond the statue, Room 6B205 is used by students in the Art Environment Support area for research and study.
