【Aiden in English】
Olympia, Greece. A grand, majestic name as a center for the worship of Zeus in the 10th century B.C. Right next to Athens and Pompeii, its appearance only grants half the fame. It's the legends, the history, and the stuff hiding behind the name that gives substance. It's also why everyone on board seems to be taking a tour of Ancient Olympia along River Kladeos in the Peloponnesus.
