Extractions: History and Geography of the Olympic Games in Ancient Greece by Rick Price, PhD. co-owner and co-founder of ExperiencePlus! Specialty Tours, Inc. The Olympics came to us as one of the oldest institutions of Classical Greece. Although the first written record of the games dates to 776 B.C., their origins go back at least five hundred years earlier and are linked to religious events well before that. The games honored Zeus, supreme god of all the Greeks and ruler of the sky (Zeus's brothers Poseidon and Hades ruled the sea and the Underworld, respectively). The Olympic games were officially abolished by the Roman emperor in 394 AD after a run of 1170 years! As god of all kings and of all humans, Zeus ruled from lofty Mt. Olympus north of Athens. His primary role was to keep the peace among those same gods and "men" on earth. In his honor a universal truce applied during the Olympic Games every four years and even though the truce was broken on several occasions, the games were never interrupted as a result of war. The reasons for the location of the games in "Olympia," near the west coast of the Peloponnesian peninsula are lost in history. The site was never a major city or permanent settlement except during the games themselves when tens of thousands of spectators and participants camped on the grounds. Evidence suggests that the site of Olympia was once the location of a religious festival honoring Gaia, the Earth Mother. Indeed, the site must have had strong historic and religious roots as it is located on the western edge of Classical Greece far from the Greek heartland as this

Extractions: The Olympics were a celebration of the almighty Zeus, the powerful King of the ancient Greek Gods. As in the modern games, these great contests brought athletes from many countries, including those from Africa and Spain. (Swaddling, 1984) There is only disputed evidence as to when the first Olympic Games were held. There are records that show the first games took place in 776 B.C.; however, there is evidence to the contrary. Greek festivals celebrating religion, music, and athletes are thought to have occurred perhaps centuries before that date. (Girardi, 1972) How the games started is also a matter of great speculation. There are two main tales or myths that describe the founding of the Olympics, both occurring in Olympia, Greece. The first tale is of Pelops, a suitor seeking Hippodamia's hand in marriage. King Oeomaus, Hippodamia's father, challenged anyone who wished to marry his daughter to drive Hippodamia away in a chariot faster than the King can catch them. Thirteen brave suitors tried this feat, and they all failed, resulting in death by King Oeomaus' spear. The tricky Pelops, however, managed to bribe King Oeomaus' servant to rig the king's chariot with a faulty axle. As Pelops and Hippodamia were driving away, the King's chariot axle gave way and he fell to his death. Pelops then had a wedding celebration, including athletic contests, with his fellow Olympians. Supposedly, those contests were the first Olympics. (Kieran, Daley, and Jordan, 1977)

http://residentassociates.org/com/olympics.asp

Extractions: Ancient Olympia, where Pausanius tells us the gods themselves participated in athletic competitions, was a sanctuary where citizens came for healing and guidance. When the Greek world was torn apart by strife, the Delphic Oracle commanded the citizens to revive and formalize these Olympic Games. A sacred truce was concluded, Olympia's status as a sanctuary was confirmed, and one of the world's noblest traditions was born-one we still honor today, as best we can. Virtually all aspects of the ancient story are still played out symbolically in the modern Olympic Games-and the venerable heritage of the games will be all the clearer in 2004, when they return to Greece.

Extractions: The Olympic Games If there is no greater desire for an athlete than to run faster, soar higher and perform stronger, then perhaps there's no greater international stage to display these talents than the Olympic Games. Held every four years under the authority of the International Olympic Committee , the Olympic Games bring together athletes to participate in peaceful competition while promoting friendship, solidarity, fair play and the harmonious development of the individual. The Ancient Olympic Games date back to 776 B.C. with competitions held every four years in Olympia Greece. However, the Modern Olympic Games resulted from the work of Baron Pierre de Coubertin of France in the late 19th century. Inspired by this original Olympic ideal of peaceful competition, de Coubertin proposed a plan for reviving Games, and in 1896, the first Olympic Games of the modern era were held in Athens, Greece.

Extractions: Some aspects of the modern Olympics come from the ancient Greek Olympics, but there are also a lot of differences between the ancient and modern Games. The ancient Olympics always took place at Olympia, in the south of Greece, every four years in August or September. According to tradition they were started in 776 B.C. and they continued until A.D. 393. They were held to honour the god Zeus, who had a large sanctuary next to the stadium where the competitions were held. The Olympics were very popular and important events. The Greeks even measured their years by reference to the Olympics! Thousands of people came from all over Greece to compete or watch. If there was a war, there was a truce around the time of the Olympics to allow all competitors to go. Most spectators slept in the open or in tents. There was no city at ancient Olympia, just the sanctuary, and sporting venues. The Ancient Olympics: Spectators and Events foot-races of approximately 200, 400 and 4,000 metres

Extractions: Photograph by Maria Daniels, courtesy of The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology The ancient Olympics were rather different from the modern Games. There were fewer events, and only free men who spoke Greek could compete, instead of athletes from any country. Also, the games were always held at Olympia instead of moving around to different sites every time. Photograph by Maria Daniels, courtesy of the Tampa Museum of Art Like our Olympics, though, winning athletes were heroes who put their home towns on the map. One young Athenian nobleman defended his political reputation by mentioning how he entered seven chariots in the Olympic chariot-race. This high number of entries made both the aristocrat and Athens look very wealthy and powerful.
