Welcome to my Oikos! Feel free to wander... All my rooms have a little history about the Ancient Olympics in them.
My halcyon friend is one I decorated for the Hellas Decorating Contest. Sit down and have a drink with him until I return. I promise he won't bite....much ;-D
Entrance to Stadium
The above pic is the what's left of the tunnel which leads to the stadium for the foot races. After warming up, the athletes would file through here to the starting line.
This was an event in itself. The cheers of the crowd as the atheletes emerged were a highlight of the event. Athletes were reveered as celebrities and sometimes gods.
Click on the above image and it will take you to Agora Ariston. There are many other goodies there waiting for you.
