How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The great temple at the heart of the sanctuary of Olympia, where Kassandra competes in the Olympic Games. Inside stands the giant gold-and-ivory statue of Zeus.
The real place
The statue of Zeus by Pheidias was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Earthquakes later toppled the temple; one of its columns was put back up in 2004.
Visiting
Ancient Olympia is a small village in the western Peloponnese. The site and museum need half a day; the stadium where the games were held is a short walk from the temple.
