The American educator; completely remodelled and rewritten from original text of the New practical reference library, with new plans and additional material. a revivalof the most prominentand elaborately^ observed of all Greek festi-vals, celebrated in honor of Zeus, on the plainof OljTupia. The Sacrsd Grove, contain-ing the sanctuaries connected with the games, enclosed a beautiful spot 660 by 580 feet inextent, adorned with temples, monuments, altars and theaters, and was crossed by aroad called the Pompic Way, along which allthe processions passed.
