'Very near to colonnade, on the side of the sun, there is a temple of Zeus called Savior, adorned with pillars around it. Zeus is seated on the throne, and by his side stand Megali polis on the right and a statue of Artemis the Savior on the left. These are of Pentelic marble and were sculptured by the Athenians Kephisodotos and Xenophon.' From Pausanias' Description of Greece. Arcadia. 30:10.

The stadium which was built towards the end of the 4th c BC, lies tot he south-east of the temple. It was 600 feet in length and one of its ends was curved. Important remains of the Stadium's starting block and its starting mechanism were found when the track was excavated. An important part of the Stadium was its hidden entrance - a vaulted underground tunnel through which athletes coming from the temple of Zeus entered the Stadium

The temple of Zeus, erected in 330 BC at the centre of the sanctuary, is one of the earliest ancient buildings in which all three architectural orders were applied: the outer colonnade is Doric, while the inner has Corinthian and Ionic columns in two levels. The underground crypt at the back of the cella is unique in Greek architecture.
