Olympia was a secret city established on Earth that was home to the race of immortals known as the Eternals. (Eternals v1 #5)
When Julius Caesar burnt down the Library of Alexandria, the Eternals moved to relocate much of the texts within it to Olympia. (Fall of the Hulks: Alpha v1 #1)
Makkari came to witness the kidnapping of Sersi and Margo Damian whereupon he rushed to Olympia in order to warn Zuras that the Deviants after millennia had become active once again. (Eternals v1 #5)
Afterwards, a malfunction occurred in the machines that kept the city hidden from prying eyes in the world. Sprite saw an opportunity to rectify it and to ensure that humans never saw the activities of the Eternals. However, his tampering of the machine led to him accidentally sending the entirety of Olympia into the Negative Zone. Whilst drifting through space, they encountered the injured Blastaar where the Eternals helped in healing him only for him to attack them. He seemingly killed them but in reality his bio-energy blasts caused them to revert to their energy forms leaving Blastaar the only corporeal being within the ruined city. (Avengers v1 #310) With the Avengers, Sersi returned to Olympia only to be shocked to find only a crater waiting for her. Her senses later determined that it was no longer in Earth's dimension and was actually in the Negative Zone. Thor then used Mjolnir to open a portal to that realm so that the Avengers could investigate the disappearance of the Eternal city. (Avengers v1 #309) They then battled Blastaar and saw the Eternals be revived where they helped defeat the Baluurian as well as return Olympia back to Earth. (Avengers v1 #310)
In the modern age, the Intelligencia covertly broke into Olympia in order to pillage it of its preserved texts. They left behind replica's behind in order to ensure the Eternal's did not realize the theft. (Fall of the Hulks: Alpha v1 #1)
Zuras later called on the Eternals to gather at Olympia as they sought to determine their role in the world with the rise of super-powered beings. (Hulk v2 #49)
After the Eternals collective death, they were resurrected by the Machine once again and continued their functions on the planet. During this time, an unknown assailant was responsible for killing Zuras with the Eternals attempting to find the culprit.
