a valley in southeastern Greece where the Nemean Games were held

Nemea (Gr. Νεμέα) is an ancient site near the head of the valley of the Nemea River in the northeastern part of the Peloponnese, in Greece. Formerly part of the territory of Cleonae in Argolis, it is today part of the prefecture of Corinthia. The small village of Iraklion is immediately southwest of the archaeological site, while the town of New Nemea lies several kilometers to the west.
