Welcome to the tour of Olympia! There are three versions of the tour of Olympia. For those with fast connections to the Internet, the tour is available with Quicktime or with Shockwave movies. For others, including everyone with a dial-up connection, a tour with pictures is available. Please do not try to view the movie tours unless you have a fast connection or a lot of patience, because the movies are large files (1 to 2 mb each), and they will take a long time to download. ...

Introduction In contrast to most Greek sites, Olympia is green and lush, amidst groves of trees. Here was the great Sanctuary of Zeus, the Altis, and the setting for the Olympic Games. For over a thousand years, in peace and war, the Greeks assembled here to celebrate this great festival. The simple crown of wild olive was sufficient to immortalize the victor, his family, and his city. Aerial view of sanctuary from SE Photograph by Raymond V. Schoder, S.J., courtesy ...

Because the Persians still ruled the Ionian cities and another invasion of Greece seemed probable, Athens in 478 B.C. invited the city-states bordering on the Aegean to form a defensive alliance called the Delian League. To maintain a 200 ship navy th ...

How was it that a relative handful of people could bequeath such a legacy to civilization?
