Ancient Greece - Peloponnesian War

Nemea was a sanctuary dedicated to Zeus and the site of the Nemean Games, one of the four major Panhellenic athletic festivals held every two years. It served as a cultural gathering point for Greek states, including those involved in the Peloponnesian War, while also being strategically located between major cities. The area is steeped in myth, featuring the famed Nemean lion’s lair from Greek mythology.
