EDITORS COMMENTS
Panathenaic Stadium, also known as Kallimarmaron, is a historic sports venue located in Athens, Central Greece, in the Attica region of Europe. This ancient stadium dates back to Classical times, with the earliest records indicating that it was built in 330 BC by Lykourgos. The stadium was originally used to host the athletic portion of the Panathenaic Games, a significant cultural and athletic event in ancient Greece. During the Classical era, the stadium featured wooden seating, and it was renowned for its impressive size and architectural design. The stadium's name, Panathenaic, is derived from the Panathenaia, a major religious and cultural festival in ancient Athens dedicated to the goddess Athena. In the late 19th century, the stadium was restored in its present form between 1896 and 1906, in time for the first modern Olympic Games, which were held in Athens. The stadium's restoration was a significant moment in the revival of ancient Greek civilization and urbanism, and it has since become a symbol of the city's rich history and cultural heritage. Today, Panathenaic Stadium is a popular tourist destination and a reminder of the ancient Greek civilization's enduring influence on European culture. The stadium has also played host to numerous sporting events, including the 2004 Olympic Games, and has become an iconic symbol of the Olympic Movement and the Olympic Rings. With its unique blend of ancient and modern architecture, Panathenaic Stadium stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the ancient Greek polis and the civilizations that have followed in its footsteps.
