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.

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.
