The sanctuary, known as the Altis, consists of an unordered arrangement of various buildings. Enclosed within the temenos (sacred enclosure) are the Temple of Hera (or Heraion/Heraeum) and Temple of Zeus, the Pelopion and the area of the altar, where the sacrifices were made. The hippodrome and later stadium were also nearby.

Ancient Olympics: Let The Games Begin

The Greek and Roman Civilizations

Published on Jul 4, 2015

Come back with us to Ancient Greece, Two Thousand, Five Hundred Years ago to the original Olympic Games. The ancient Games, like our modern Olympics, included champions and cheaters, glory and scandals, bitter rivalries and contests of strength, speed and savage combat. Set in 448 BC when the pounding of horse's hooves and the brutal hand-to-hand combat could be heard and seen by the crowds that filled the Olympic stadium. This one-hour special event follows the glory and corruption of the arc of a single, five-day Olympiad. The competitions include chariot racing, running, jumping, discus, javelin and two man-to-man combat finals-boxing and pankration, a form of extreme fighting in which death was not uncommon. With the help of sports historians and great athletes such as George Chuvalo and Olympic medallists Donovan Bailey and Angela Schneider, viewers travel back to a very different life-in a very different world. Combining computer generated imagery and vivid re-enactments, Ancient Olympics brings the legendary Hellenistic spectacle to life.

The Statue of Zeus - Άγαλμα του Ολυμπίου Διός

NikaiaOfBithynia

Uploaded on Jul 22, 2011

Άγαλμα του Ολυμπίου Διός

Το Άγαλμα του Ολυμπίου Διός ήταν από τα πιο μεγαλοπρεπή μνημεία που κατασκευάστηκαν στην αρχαιότητα. Στην αρχαιότητα το κολοσσιαίο άγαλμα συμπεριλαμβανόταν στα Επτά Θαύματα του κόσμου.

Φιλοτεχνήθηκε από τον διάσημο γλύπτη της εποχής, Φειδία γύρω στο 430 π.Χ. και τοποθετήθηκε ως λατρευτικό άγαλμα στο Ναό του Δία στην Ολυμπία στην αρχαία Ηλία, στα δυτικά της Πελοποννήσου, κοντά στις όχθες του ποταμού Αλφειού. Ο Λόφος ήταν τόπος λατρείας του Κρόνου, πατέρα του Δία. Η τοποθεσία είναι ιστορική, αφού από την αρχαιότητα εδώ διαδραματίστηκαν πολλές μάχες, και από το 1000 π.Χ. υπήρχε ο αρχαιότερος ναός της Ελλάδος αφιερωμένος στην Ήρα. Κοντά στον αρχαίο αυτό ναό ήταν και το στάδιο των Ολυμπιακών αγώνων. Το 470 π.Χ. χτίστηκε εδώ ο ναός του Δία. Το άγαλμα του Δία έγινε τόσο ξακουστό στην εποχή του, που πλήθος πολεμιστών το επισκέπτονταν για να το δουν. Επί αιώνες ήταν ένα από τα θεάματα που ο κάθε θνητός όφειλε να δει πριν πεθάνει. Το χρυσελεφάντινο άγαλμα του Δία επισκευάστηκε από το γλύπτη Δαμοφώντα το Μεσσήνιο κατά το α΄ μισό του 2ου αι. π.Χ., επειδή παρουσίασε ρωγμές. Εκείνη την εποχή επικρατούσαν κλασικιστικές τάσεις στην Ελληνιστική Γλυπτική. Το άγαλμα πέρασε κάποιες περιπέτειες, αφού την εποχή του Ιούλιου Καίσαρα το χτύπησε κεραυνός, χωρίς όμως να του κάνει σοβαρή ζημιά. Ο Καλιγούλας είχε διατάξει να το μεταφέρουν στην Ρώμη και να του αλλάξουν το πρόσωπο δίνοντάς του την μορφή του αυτοκράτορα, πράγμα που όμως δεν έγινε, επειδή το καράβι που περίμενε στο λιμάνι για να το φορτώσει χτυπήθηκε από κεραυνό και κάηκε. Μετά την κατάργηση των Ολυμπιακών Αγώνων το 393 μ.Χ. ο ναός ξέπεσε. Το 408 μ.Χ. την εποχή του Θεοδόσιου ο ναός πυρπολήθηκε, και το άγαλμα καταστράφηκε ή κατατεμαχίστηκε και λεηλατήθηκε. Σύμφωνα με μια άλλη εκδοχή ο Θεοδόσιος το 390 μ.Χ. το μετέφερε στην Κωνσταντινούπολη, όπου καταστράφηκε από φωτιά το 416 μ.Χ. Ο ναός λεηλατήθηκε από τους Γότθους, και τα υπολείμματά του γίνανε χριστιανικός ναός μέχρι που γκρεμίστηκε από έναν σεισμό. Αργότερα τα ερείπια σκεπάστηκαν από την κοίτη του ποταμού Αλφειού. Το 1875 μια γερμανική αποστολή έκανε αρχαιολογικές ανασκαφές και μέχρι το 1881 επανέφερε στο φως τα ερείπια, κάτω από τέσσερα μέτρα χώμα.

The Statue of Zeus at Olympia was made by the Greek sculptor Phidias, circa 432 BC on the site where it was erected in the Temple of Zeus, Olympia, Greece. It was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

In ancient times one of the Greeks most mportant festivals, the Olympic Games, was held every four years in honor of the King of their gods, Zeus. Like our modern Olympics, athletes traveled from distant lands, including Asia Minor, Syria, Egypt and Sicily, to compete. The Olympics were first started in 776 B.C. and held at a shrine to Zeus located on the western coast of Greece in a region called Peloponnesus. The games helped to unify the Greek city-states and a sacred truce was declared. Safe passage was given to all traveling to the site, called Olympia, for the season of the games
