Ancient authors like Pindar and Diodorus speak of the temple with admiration but also with fear, because it was said that in honour of Zeus human sacrifices were offered here. On top of the walls that surround the sacred enclosure travellers through the ages have immortalised their passing, placing stones one atop another to form pointed cumuli, like the shepherds do to mark the movement of their flocks.
