In the western Peloponnese, in an idyllic and peaceful valley, between the hill of Kronio and the confluence of the rivers Alpheus and Kladeos,exists, in antiquity, one of the most important Greek cities: the city of Ancient Olympia. Over the years, in addition to sacred religious ceremonies, the established races also attracted the interest and participation of all Greeks. The Olympic Games were held every four years in honor of Zeus and only those who were Greeks were allowed to participate. The ancient Greeks identified the Olympics with the ideals of sportsmanship and peace. Using these exact ideals; the region of Olympia in Elis was declared a sacred and inviolable space. The army was banned from entering the territory and this was introduced to stop wars and hostilities during the games.
