PLACES SACRED TO THE OLYMPIANS

Mythman's Sacred Places

 

The major Olympians each had their special towns and cities where they were worshipped as patron gods. Temples were built and festivals held in their honor, and people would beseech their patron god in times of need. Because of numerous requests I have provided a list of the main gods, their Roman names and the places that were considered sacred to them.
