Temple of Zeus, Nemea

These Doric columns are from the Temple of Zeus at Nemea, the site of the Nemean Games, one of the four  Panhellenic Games of antiquity (see posts below). If you have a connection with the University of California at Berkeley you can be proud of the fact that some of these pillars stand because of the work done here by Berkeley students and faculty. In fact, Berkeley has given much  support  over the years for the excavations at Nemea. It’s a beautiful spot, as most temple sites in Greece are. I didn’t think I was going to make it here, but I made it. Lucky again.
