Philippeion
The Philippeion () in the Altis of Olympia was a tholos made of in limestone and marble. Originally, it contained chryselephantine (ivory and gold) statues of the family of Philip II, including himself, his son Alexander the Great, one of his wives Olympias, his father Amyntas III, and his mother Eurydice I. It was made by the Athenian sculptor Leochares as a memorial celebrating Philip's victory at the battle of Chaeronea (338 BC). It was the only structure inside the Altis dedicated to human beings rather than gods.

Thrasymedes
Thrasymedes of Paros () was an ancient Greek sculptor. Formerly, he was regarded as a pupil of Phidias because he set up in the temple of Asclepius at Epidaurus a seated chryselephantine sculpture of that deity, which was evidently a copy of the Statue of Zeus at Olympia by Phidias. An inscription found at Epidaurus yet proves that the temple and the statue belong to the 4th century BCE.
