Abstract

“Recent research at Mt. Lykaion, both at the southern summit of the mountain at the Sanctuary of Zeus and in the lower mountain meadow at the Sanctuary of Pan , is leading to new understandings about cult practices at this ancient site.  Work towards the creation of the Parrhasian Heritage Park of the Peloponnesos, Greece’s first large scale national heritage park, continues in order to unify and protect aspects of western Arcadia, northern Messenia and western Elis, around the Neda River valley.”
