ANCIENT GREEK GAMES


I The Greeks took games of all kinds very seriously, but especially physical athletic competitions. There were a lot of athletic competitions in Greece. The most famous of these were the Olympic Games. II Olympia was an ancient settlement in Greece where the Olympic Games started. The games were in honor of Zeus, King of the Gods. The games were part of a great five day festival held every four years. III The first Olympic Games were in about 776 BC. IV In those days, the only event was a short sprint, from one end of the stadium to the other. Later, there were four days of many different competitions. V Young men from rich families didnt have to work and met at the Olympic Games. They competed for prizes and for the favor of the gods. VI The events were the same kind as in the Olympics today: running, jumping, throwing the javelin, throwing the discus, horse racing, and the marathon, but women couldnt compete. The competitions were only for men. VII The spectators came from all over Greece to watch the events. They had to pitch their tents or sleep outside. Only men, boys, and unmarried girls could attend the Olympic Games. VIII Winners won crowns of sacred olive branches.
