The Ancient Greek Olympics

Almost 3000 years ago, the Ancient Greeks established what was a unique method of honoring their gods: an athletic competition. 

Men from city states all over the Greek world would come to Mount Olympus to compete. For those crowned champion, there were few honors greater. 

Over the centuries, more and more competitions were added until one day, an emperor put an end to everything until its modern revival.
