Summary:

The ancient sanctuary of Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games and of athletic competition in general, has been fascinating people from antiquity up to the present time. In the present volume, all inscriptions - large and small - published after Dittenberger's edition are collected, critically edited, translated into German, and commented. Complete Greek and Latin indices make the inscriptions easily accessible to all scholars interested in the ancient Olympic Games, in the history of religion and sports, and in classical studies in general. The sanctuary of Olympia has fascinated people from ancient times to the present day. We receive authentic information about its history and the course of the games held there from ancient writers such as Pausanias, through excavation finds and findings, but above all through the inscriptions found there. This publication now combines the texts published since 1896 and thus enables a complete overview of the epigraphic evidence on stone, metal and ceramics.
