An diesem Hügel lagen die verdammt alten Heiligtümer der Gaia (Mutter Erde), selbst aus dem Chaos entstanden und Mutter der Titanen. Kronos einer der Titanen war Vater des Zeus', Götterchef der olympischen Götter und griechischen Götterwelt. Später haben die Römer diese Götterstruktur übernommen und einfach ihre Namen übergestülpt (z.B. Zeus = Jupiter, Poseidon = Neptun). Aber warum wurde von den Menschen damals dieser Hügel als Lage der Heiligtümer erwählt und nicht einer der anderen teilweise höheren Hügel?
On this hill were the damned old sanctuaries of Gaia (Mother Earth), themselves created out of chaos and mother of the Titans. Kronos one of the titans was father of Zeus', chief god of the Olympic gods and Greek god world. Later the Romans adopted this god structure and simply put their names on them (e.g. Zeus = Jupiter, Poseidon = Neptune). But why was this hill chosen by the people at that time as the location of the sanctuaries and not one of the other partially higher hills?

Ο Κρόνιος λόφος υψώνεται βόρεια του περιώνυμου ιερού της Ολυμπίας και είναι ένα από τα γνωστότερα και σημαντικό- τερα σύμβολά της. Η ονομασία του, ως “Κρόνιο όρος”, σύμ- φωνα με τον Πίνδαρο (Ολυμπιόνικοι, Ι' 50), δόθηκε από τον Ηρακλή, ο οποίος τον αφιέρωσε στον παππού του Κρόνο. Ο Παυσανίας (VI, 20, 1-2) αναφέρει ότι στην κορυφή του οι ιερείς που ονομάζονταν “Βασίλαι” έκαναν θυσίες στον Κρόνο κατά την εαρινή ισημερία, το μήναΕλάφιο (Μάρτιο). Εκτός αυτού, στις νότιες πλαγιές του Κρόνιου λατρεύτηκαν πολλές θεότητες (Γαία, Κρόνος, Ειλείθυια, Ρέα, Ιδαίος Ηρακλής, Θέμις) και Νύμφες, κατά τους προϊστορικούς χρόνους πριν ακόμα αρχίσει η λατρεία του Διός.
The Saturnus hill rises north of its sacred sanctuary Olympia and is one of the most famous and important- its more symbols. Its name, as "Saturn", is given to Pindar (Olympians, I '50), was given by him Hercules, who dedicated him to Saturn's grandfather. Pausanias (VI, 20, 1-2) mentions that at the top the priests called "Basil" sacrificed to him Saturn at the spring equinox, the month of Deer (March). Besides, on the southern slopes of Kronius they were worshiped many deities (Gaia, Saturn, Eileithia, Rea, Idea Hercules, Themis) and Nymphs, according to prehistoric times years before the worship of Zeus even began.

Unfortunately, we did not find a way onto the hill. Everything was fenced in, all gates locked. Would have been great to have a look down at the Olympic stadium site.

Amazing view from the hill top...sadly no view on Ancient Olimpia site apart from section of stadium...but the views of the hills to the east are truly rewarding that short hike.
