"The sanctuary of Zeus on Mt. Lykaion was not systematically investigated again until 1996, when Dr. David Gilman Romano of the University of Pennsylvania Museum conducted an important architectural and topographical survey at the site. (Publication forthcoming in The Proceedings of the 2002 Arcadian Symposium held at the Norwegian Institute at Athens in May 2002). Romano had previously studied the stadium at Mt. Lykaion for his dissertation on Greek stadia and argued that it was a unique example and one of the most important in the Greek world (Stadia of the Peloponnesos, Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Pennsylvania, 1981). Dr. Romano and others have noted that the hippodrome at Mt. Lykaion is the only extant and visible example in the Greek world. Scholars of Arcadian cults and religion have also analyzed the site, resulting in numerous publications (e.g., M. Jost, Sanctuaires et cults d’Arcadie, 1985). Recent research on sanctuaries in Arcadia indicates that this site developed very differently from any other sanctuary in the region (M. Voyatzis, “The Role of Temple Building in Consolidating Arkadian communities,” in Defining Ancient Arkadia, T.H. Nieslen and J. Roy (eds.) 1999). Anthropologists have studied the possibility of human sacrifice at Mt. Lykaion and the evidence of comparable accounts from other cultures."
