The Ancient Stadium of Nemea sits in an upland valley of Korinthia, Greece, just metres from the Temple of Zeus [1]. Here, ancient Greek athletes competed in the stadion at the pan-Hellenic Nemean Games, held every two years from 573 BCE until 271 BCE [2]. The stadium's stone seats and running track remain largely intact, preserving the arena where athletes competed for glory in antiquity [1].
