What percentage of the Athena Parthenos statue that stood in the Parthenon was gold?
I'm trying to find out for a project. I think parts were made of gold and others were made of ivory.
More than likely the gold was used in plates or a skin veneer if you will over an underlying structure.. Weight alone would have been a problem had the statue been made using solid gold. Gold being a very dense and heavy element/material. I am not sure that modern historians know exactly what the statue looked like as far as gold usage. There are known marble copies of the original and other versions have been reconstructed based on the known copies of the original work. The motion picture industry has taken their liberties in portraying the statue as well. Here are some links that maybe of some use :
