BATHS AND FOUNTAINSLykaion Games AGNO FOUNTAIN In summer temperatures in the Peloponnese idle around 86°F (30°C) but can reach 104°F (40°C). So, it is not surprising that the site of the Lykaion Games at the foot of Mount Lykaion includes an ancient fountain that once provided water to athletes and spectators. This was fed by the Agno spring (named after a nymph) which now flows from a new fountain further up the mountainside. Archaeological evidence also suggests that water was channelled from the fountain to other areas of the complex and that the path it took was similar to that of the cascading rusty barrels providing water for sheep today.
Walk around the fountain
Find where the water arrived
... and the plumbing it flowed through
Remember the rusty tins are modern!
