The Olympic festival, the "details Of
which by common Greek consent wore IN
charge of the cleans, was supposed to be
under the direct care of Olympian Zeus,
the father Of the gods, and the locality
where the sports were held was sacred
ground Olympia was scarcely q town; it
was rather a collection of temples and
public buildings exhibiting the noblest
art of Greece in sculpture, painting and
architecture. The recent excavations made
by the Greek and italian governments
GS75-S1) have made clear to US the plan
of the place and uncovered many interest
ing relics of ancient art. The quadrangle
called the Altis was peculiarly sacred, and
here stood the temples of Zeus and of Hera
his wife, and Of other deities, with tho
treasure houses of many Of ths Greek
states. In the midst was the high altar Of
the father of the gods and near by the CO.
losaal statue Of him made of gold and
ivory by Phidias, the greatest Of sculptors
"a work considered enc of the seven won
ders Of the world. Athens itself scarcely
contained greater marveIs of art than
Olympia, for all the skill and pride Of the
Greek race lent themselves to making the
site worthy Of the national Importance Of
the festival.-G. T. Ferris ia April st
Nicholas.
