 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

Similar depictions[edit] edit
- Athena Parthenos, another lost colossal statue that was originally located inside the Parthenon. Made by Phidias.
- The statue was decorated with gold and stood similar to the Athena Promachos as it memorializes victory.[1]
- Lemnian Athena, classical Greek statue also made by Phidias.
- Pausanias states that the statue was a votive offfering. It was dedicated by the people of Lemnos.[2]
- Varvakeion Athena, a 3rd-century Roman copy of the Athena Parthenos.
- The statue was recreated during the Roman era. It stands similar to the Athena Promachos but has few key differences when looking at the decorations on the Varvakeion Athena, such as the headpiece.
