THE HISTORY OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES
The first games which later called “the Olympics” were held about a thousand years before our era.
In those times numerous states on the territory of modern Greece often waged wars. The ruler of one of these wanted to live in peace and he decided to organized athletic games.
From that time all the games were held every four years in Olympia. All wars were stopped. Best athletes arrived from many Greek states to Olympia to compete in running, long jumps, throwing of discus and javelin and wrestling. Fist fighting (boxing) and chariot races were included in the Games. Only men could take part in the Olympics. Women were not allowed anywhere near them.
All the athletes took an oath that had been preparing well for the Games, promised to compete honestly and keep the rules of the sacred Olympics. Winners were called “olympionics”. They were awarded olive wreaths and cups of olive oil.
The Olympic Games were accompanied by arts festivals. Singers sang hymns, poets recited poems, orators made speeches – all this in honor of the sacred Games.
