Ancient olympics.probably the greatest honour that can come to an athlete is to win gold at the olympic games.but did you know that the idea of having olympic games is more that 2,500 years old? a greek legendvsays that ir was hercules, son ofzeus, who started olympic games.the earliet olympic records we know about go back to the year 776 bc.the greeks had the games onse in every four years for more that 1,000 years, until the romans stopped them in 394 ad.the ancientvgreeks believedthe gamesso important that they measured time by them.they called the four years an olympiad.the games were an examle of the greek idea that people should develop their bodies as well as brains.nothing was serious enough to stand in the way of thegames.ifa war was going on in the country, they stopped the war, not the games.the ancient olympics had only one athletic competition- a running rase of about 183 metres (the length of the stadium ).only men could take partin the games.the powerful spartans changed the programme and included more sports in it.the winners of the games became heroes in the country.
