Olympia Greece.

Our last stop in Greece was Olympia, home of the first Olympic Games. Not much remains of the original site, as many structures were carried off by locals over 2,000 years ago. What remained was largely preserved due to being covered by silt from the river that once flowed through the area. Much of what has been uncovered is now housed in local museums. I will include a few of the pictures I took below

I also found a new use for AI today. I uploaded a picture to chatgpt and it was able to read the inscription on the base of a statue that had been taken away long ago.

According to chatgpt the inscription is as follows:

“The city and the council
honored Kleodemos,
son of Agion, grandson of Philodamos,
of Gaius Memmius Syllamus,
descendant of Lucius Poulius,
[grandson] of a councilor,
for his excellence and virtue
and his public-spiritedness toward the people,
and appointed him to the Heliaia (jury court)
during the archonship of [name].”
