Me and my stepfather are planning to go to Greece sometime this year or next year and i just wanted to ask if the Statue of Zeus is still standing. ive been wanting to see that myself since i was a little kid.
 
If you mean Phidias' statue of Zeus at Olympia, one of the seven wonders of the anicent world, well I'm afraid you're about 1500 years too late

It was destroyed long ago, although the circumstances of its destruction are a source of debate: the 11th century Byzantine historian Georgios Kedrenos wrote that it was carried off to Constantinople, where it was destroyed in the great fire of the Lauseion, in 475. Some argue that it was destroyed when the temple itself burned down in 435 AD. According to Lucian of Samosata in the later second century,
"they have laid hands on your person at Olympia, my lord High-Thunderer, and you had not the energy to wake the dogs or call in the neighbours; surely they might have come to the rescue and caught the fellows before they had finished packing up the swag".

Thats what Wiki tells me anyway.

Greece?

Yes... yes, it is the word.


solve my problems and I see the light
We gotta plug and think, we gotta feed it right
There ain't no danger we can go to far
We start believing now that we can be who we are

Grease is the word
They think our love is just a growing pain
Why don't they understand, It's just a crying shame
Their lips are lying only real is real
We start to find right now we got to be what we feel

Grease is the word
Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It's got groove it's got meaning
Grease is the time, is the place is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling

We take the pressure and we throw away
Conventionality belongs to yesterday
There is a chance that we can make it so far
We start believing now that we can be wo we are

Grease is the word
Grease is the word, is the word that you heard
It's got groove it's got meaning
Grease is the time, is the place is the motion
Grease is the way we are feeling
This is the life of illusion
Wrapped up in trouble laced with confusion
What we doing here?

We take the pressure and we throw away
Conventionality belongs to yesterday
