Olympia (Greece) a sanctuary in ancient Greece in Elis; an ancient district, that corresponds with the modern Ilia Prefecture (Western Peloponnese and in the western part of Greece). .. It is known for having been the site of the Olympic Games in classical times, comparable in importance to the Pythian Games held in Delphi. Both games were held every Olympiad (ie. every four years), the Olympic Games dating back possibly further than 776 BC. In 394 AD (after exactly 1170 years) emperor Theodosius I abolished them as they were then considered reminiscent of paganism. The first olympic games were in Olympia in honor of Zeus.
