Summary Located on the western coast of Greece's Peloponnese Peninsula, Olympia served as home of the ancient Olympic Games from approximately 776 BC to 394 AD. Though buried over time by alluvial deposits, the sacred site was rediscovered by English antiquary Richard Chandler in 1766 and has been a popular site for archaeological exploration since the first excavation in 1829. In this 1893 work, University of Nancy professor Charles Diehl vividly details recent findings at excavations in Olympia and other important classical sites. Along with descriptions of iconic Olympia sites like the Temple of the Olympian Zeus and the Heraeum, Diehl provides a fascinating overview of the development and execution of the Games and their significance in ancient Greek culture.
