The Sanctuary of Zeus at ancient Nemea has been a rich resource for archaeological investigation and analysis conducted by the University of California over the past forty years. The Sanctuary hosted one of the preeminent athletic festivals of ancient Greece, the Nemean Games. Just as the Olympics were celebrated in connection with the cult of Pelops at Olympia, the games at Nemea were founded on the worship of the hero Opheltes. The Shrine of Opheltes in the Sanctuary of Zeus at Nemea offers one of the best examples of an ancient Greek hero cult documented in the archaeological record. This final and most significant volume in the Excavations at Nemea series presents the results of the excavation of the Shrine from 1979 through 2001 and analyzes the Shrine's features and contents in order to understand its history and use. A study of the literary and artistic evidence about the myth and cult of Opheltes contextualizes the archaeological findings and illuminates the hero's significance to the Sanctuary and its renowned festival, the Nemean Games.

The Final Painting...the Final Stroke. Ex-mercenary Elliott Harris has spent the last two years of his life restoring the lives of the families he helped destroy. The unoccupied third floor of Shiloah Sanctuary tells the story of each one-each room bears a mural he's painted, revealing the redemption of the past. And now he's painting the final mural-the one he's dreaded most-because she has finally walked into his life and Shiloah Santuary. She calls herself Jennie but doesn't have a clue about her true identity. But Elliott knows her and he knows her past. Jennie doesn't know how or why she woke up in a dirty San Francisco alley with a Jennie-O label plastered to her cheek. Desperate for help, Jennie stumbles into the nearby women's shelter and meets the enigmatic Cassie who brings her to Shiloah Sanctuary, a peaceful place where she can rest and regain her memory. As Jennie's memories begin to return, her past begins to emerge. As do the dark threats still lingering from Elliott's. Past and present collide, sending them both running for their lives and the truth. Yet the final brush stroke reveals the unexpected...a miracle they never anticipated.
