Kladeos is a river in Elis, Greece which bordered the ancient Sanctuary of Olympia. It was named after the river-god Kladeos who shared an altar with the goddess Demeter behind the Temple of Hera in the sanctuary.
The Olympic Gymnasium and baths were erected along the river's bank. However, when the river changed course in the 4th century, it destroyed part of the gymnasium. Along with the flooding from the Alpheios River in the Middle Ages, the Sanctuary of Olympia was buried under four meters of silt, and was eventually rediscovered in the 19th century.[1]
