This article is about Temple of Hera in Elis. For other uses, see Temple of Hera.
The Temple of Hera was a temple dedicated to the goddess Hera located in the Sanctuary of Olympia in Elis, north of the Pelopeion.
History[edit | edit source]
The Heraia events were named after the goddess; every four years, sixteen Elean women in charge of organizing the games wove a new veil for the goddess and placed it on display in the temple.[1]
Another tradition was that children cut boughs off the Olympic Tree with a golden sickle, took them to the Temple of Hera where the Hellanodikai, the judges of the Olympic Games, made the wreaths for the winners of the event.[2]
