Die Personifikation von 'Olympia' besass die Gestalt einer hubschen jungen Frau mit ausdrucksvollen Augen, griechischer Nase und einem kleinen Mund mit geschurzten Lippen. Ihr langes, in schonen Wellen auf den Rucken herabfallendes Haar, war im Nacken zusammengenommen. In dieser Gestalt erscheint sie auf einem Munzbild der Stadt Elis aus dem Jahr 364 v. Chr. Vor ihrem Kopf ist ihr Name ΟΛΥΜΠΙΑ beigeschrieben. Die Schonheit der Gestalt der Olympia auf den Munzen entspricht der landschaftlichen Schonheit des Heiligtums. Sanfte, kiefernbestandene Hugel, schmale Taler mit Olive...
