The Leonidaion was a large guesthouse within the Sanctuary of Olympia, Greece.
History
Named after its architect, Leonidas of Naxos, the Leonidaion served as a lodging and feasting place for important visitors to the Sanctuary.[1]
During the 428 BCE Olympics, the judges Kallias and Demophanes hosted their habitual feast at the Leonidaion, with Alkibiades joining his old friends in celebrating the event. Following the beginning of the Pankration event [2] Alkibiades fell ill, and his friend the Spartan misthios Kassandra investigated Leonidaion, finding the rest of the guests dead, and the name of the merchant responsible for the supplies for the party: Priam.[3]
