The Origins of the Olympics and its Transformation
« on: October 21, 2016, 10:32:20 am »

The Olympic Games were a series of athletic competitions among representatives of city-states and one of the Panhellenic Games of Ancient Greece. They were held in honor of Zeus, and the Greeks gave them a mythological origin. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Olympic_Games)

The modern Olympic Games became an international sporting event featuring summer and winter sports competitions in which thousands of athletes from around the world participate in a variety of competitions. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_Games)

The Olympic flame is a symbol of the Olympic Games. Commemorating the theft of fire from the Greek god Zeus by Prometheus, its origins lie in ancient Greece, where a fire was kept burning throughout the celebration of the ancient Olympics. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympic_flame)
