	Athens - Temple of Olympian Zeus on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
		The Temple of Olympian Zeus, also known as the Olympeion (Greek: Ναός του Ολυμπίου Διός, or Naos tou Olimpiou Dios), was the largest temple of the Hellenistic and Roman periods in Greece.
		The temple was excavated in 1889-1896 by Francis Penrose of the British School in Athens (who also played a leading role in the restoration of the Parthenon), in 1922 by the German archaeologist Gabriel Welter and in the 1960s by Greek archaeologists led by Ioannes Travlos.
		Located southeast of Acropolis, its foundations were laid on the site of an earlier temple by the tyrant Pisistratus in 515 BC, but the work was abandoned when Pisistratus's son, Hippias, was overthrown in 510 BC.
