You're standing in ancient Nemea, a sanctuary of Zeus in the north-eastern Peloponnese. This is where the Nemean Games were held every two years, one of the great festivals for all Greeks, like the games at Olympia. First, look at the Temple of Zeus. Nine of its slender Doric columns stand upright today. But only three of them have stood since they were built. The others have been put back up.
