Culture
The Philippeion in the Altis of Olympia was a tholos made of in limestone and marble. Originally, it contained chryselephantine 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.
