Olympia became one of the main modes of pilgrimage of the ancient universe, far superior to the pilgrimages to the sanctuaries of Delphi (consecrated to Apollo) and Corinth (in honor of Poseidon, god of the seas). According to tradition, the Greek gods lived in a kind of heavenly city located on Mount Olympus; there were estates among the different divinities and they were organized in a hierarchical way; the supreme authority was the supreme Zeus, god of order and justice.
