DESCRIPTION:The lecture\, given by Dr. David Gilman Romno\, will cover the 
 latest developments and discoveries at Mt. Lykaion\, including the excavat
 ion of the altar of Zeus on the southern peak of the mountain\, with the d
 iscovery of a Mycenaean shrine with earlier precedents\; its interpretatio
 n as the prototype for the ash altar at the Sanctuary of Zeus at Olympia a
 nd the idea that Mt. Lykaion was the birthplace of Zeus and the model for 
 Olympia\; the discovery of burned femurs from the Mycenaean period and con
 tinuing through to the Hellenistic period\, proving that there was a conti
 nuity of the cult of Zeus from Mycenaean through Hellenistic times\; the d
 iscovery of the early stadium at Mt. Lykaion near the mountain top and the
  idea that the athletic contests held there may go back to Mycenaean times
 \; the recent discovery of the early Sanctuary of Pan in the lower mountai
 n meadow\; the only visible and measurable hippodrome in the Greek world\,
  with a parallel stadium nearby\; the idea that there was a Mycenaean Pan-
 Hellenic Sanctuary at Mt. Lykaion attracting elites\, worshippers and athl
 etes to the mountain top\; the discovery of a small Ionic prostyle pentast
 yle building dating to the fourth century BCE in the lower sanctuary.
