27 Ιουλ 2012 · Nemea was a religious sanctuary in the northern Peloponnese of Greece where pan - Hellenic athletic games were held every two years from 573 BCE until 271 BCE, after which, the Games were definitively moved to Argos.
Nemea is situated in a fertile valley some 35km southwest of Corinth and is where Hercules is said to have killed the Nemean lion, the first of his twelve labours. It is also famous as the site of the Panhellenic Nemean Games held in honour of Zeus and was an important religious sanctuary of ancient Greece.
THE NEMEAN GAMES. Nemea comprised one of four sites in ancient Greece that celebrated athletic and religious festivals on a four-year cycle (so, each year games were held at one of the four sites). The other three sites were Delphi, Isthmia, and (best known today) Olympia.
The stadion of Nemea.. The Nemean Games (Greek: Νέμεα or Νέμεια) were one of the four Panhellenic Games of Ancient Greece, and were held at Nemea every two years (or every third).. With the Isthmian Games, the Nemean Games were held both the year before and the year after the Ancient Olympic Games and the Pythian Games in the third year of the Olympiad cycle.
The Games at Nemea did not endure, however, and by 271 B.C. they had once again been moved to Argos. Nemean victors are recorded throughout the remainder of antiquity, but not at Nemea itself. When Pausanias visited around A.D. 150 he saw an abandoned ruin with the roof of the Temple of Zeus fallen in and the cult statue missing.
7 Μαΐ 2024 · The first historical games at Nemea were held in 573 B.C., and they took place every two years. There was no settlement at Nemea, and the games were most often under the auspices of Argos, moving to that ancient city to the south for long stretches of time, except during the period of Macedonian hegemony.
