The
Site at Isthmia
 Isthmia
in antiquity was a large Panhellenic sanctuary dedicated primarily
to the worship of Poseidon. As a Panhellenic site, its games attracted
visitors from across the Greek world every two years. The complexity
of the site's history has been corroborated over the past half century
through the near-continual fieldwork at the site, beginning in the
1950s.
