Introduction

The starting and ending point of visiting the ancient Olympia site is the Archaeological Museum, where there are models of ruins depicting scenes from Greek mythology on the mountain walls and partitions. Sculptor Praxiteles used marble from the island of Paros to carve the masterpiece "Hermes of Praxiteles", a classical sculpture. In the excavation of the site, we discovered the exquisite and unique head of Hera, which is small and delicate.
