Mt. Lykaion, Arcadia, Peloponnese, Greece

One of the highlights of my recent trip to Greece was our visit to Mt. Lykaion. It was the site of a Zeus sanctuary in the 5th century B.C., and Panhellenic games similar to the ancient Olympic games were held there. We were lucky to have two of the current excavators of Mt. Lykaion leading our group, one from the University of Arizona, and one from the University of Pennsylvania. Here's our group at Mt. Lykaion.
