The Hymn of Olympiacos or Thrile ton Gipedon (Legend of stadiums) is the anthem of the Greek multi-sport club Olympiacos CFP, based in Piraeus.[1] The lyrics were written in 1980 by the Greek songwriter Kostas Kilimantzos, with Spiros Valsamakis being the composer.[2] Christakis Voliotis was the first to perform the anthem.

Historically, the first hymn of Olympiacos was composed in 1931 by Mimis Vasiliadis (lyrics) and Yiangos Laoutaris (music). It was a march-style anthem and more oriented to football matches.

Greek
Θρύλε των γηπέδων Ολυμπιακέ
δαφνοστεφανωμένε μεγάλε και τρανέ,
έχεις δύναμή σου Ολυμπιακέ
τον πύρινό σου κόσμο που δε λυγά ποτέ.
Ολυμπί-Ολυμπί-Ολυμπιακέ
ομάδα ομαδάρα μου,
μεγάλη μου αγάπη,
Ολυμπιακάρα μου.
Δόξα στα παιδιά σου Ολυμπιακέ
χιλιοτραγουδισμένε, στον κόσμο ξακουστέ.
Τρέμουν στ' άκουσμά σου Ολυμπιακέ
κι ακόμα σε θυμούνται η Σάντος κι ο Πελέ.
Ολυμπί-Ολυμπί-Ολυμπιακέ
ομάδα ομαδάρα μου,
μεγάλη μου αγάπη,
Ολυμπιακάρα μου.
