The name was taken from the Iliad, iow, there isn’t a “Nestor’s House” sign on the entrance to the ruined palace, alas. ;’)

They excavated Phidias’ work shop at Olympia where he created the statue of Zeus.

Beneath all the dirt etc. they found a cup and it said “this is Phidias’ cup” of course in Greek. He probably did not want anyone else using it.
