The Hippodrome of Atlantis (Greek:Ιππόδρομο της Ατλαντίδας, Ippódromo ti̱s Atlantídas) is a circus that was the sporting and social centre of Atlantis, capital of the Diadochian Empire. The modern day Hippodrome is still quite popular with the people. The Hippodrome is 500 meters (1640.42 feet) long and 180 meters (590.551 feet) wide, with a seating capacity of 500,000 spectators. The early political parties of Diadochia, the Blues (Venetoi), the Greens (Prasinoi), the Reds (Rousioi) and the Whites (Leukoi) stem from ancient chariot factions.
