- We're both working on the same site, so I might be of some help here. These are the three respective archaeological survives that have been done on the site (1926, 1982, 2001). They're rich with information, images, and maps. I'll let you know if I come across anything vicariously.

- Breaking the paragraphs up by section with the heading tool may make your article clearer and also help you to organize your thoughts.

- Not really here nor there, but at the Baths there is a stone inscribed with an archaic σ I find it interesting when paired with the ε you mention.

Comments from Prof. Paga[edit]

Hi Emily - this is a good start! You've got 2 sets of good peer-reviews already, plus here a couple of my own suggestions for how to keep improving this article:

  • You need to have a title and section headings - this will help with the organization of the article and make it easy to navigate.
  • Consider adding a map that shows where Nemea is
  • A minor typo -- it's "archaeologists" (not archeologists")
  • Make sure to integrate your citations more fully. For instance, at one point you have a direct quote from Romano, but do not cite his work.
  • The games and festival at Nemea are not the same as the Olympics. The Olympic Games took place at Olympia. The festival at Nemea is similar -- it occurred every 4 years and involved athletic events, but the Nemean Games and not the same as the Olympic Games. You'll need to be very clear about this on your page. Perhaps even consider adding a section to your article that highlights the fact that they are different festivals.

Hey Emily, Professor Paga commented on this but I just want to stress that the Olympic games and the Nemean games were different events. They were both Panhellenic games, so they were open to all Greeks, but they were held in different years and at different locations (Olympics were held in Olympia). The Nemean games have their own wikipedia page that you could check out as a good place to start looking into them a bit more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemean_Games Kaylauer520 (talk) 06:07, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
