Prytaneion

The Prytaneion was a building in the Sanctuary of Olympia, Elis, Greece, where priests and game officials for the Olympic Games resided in.

The Prytaneion of Olympia housed an altar in honor of the goddess Hestia.[1] Upon the altar burned the Fire of Hestia, which was used to light all the braziers within the Sanctuary, and came to be called Olympic flame.[2]

During the 428 BCE Olympics the Spartan misthios Kassandra visited the building.[3]
