The Olympic Games In this essay I am going to talk about the Olympic Games; the Ancient Olympic games and the Modern Olympic Games, and the differences between them. Firstly The Ancient Greek Olympic Games were established in 778 B. C. as part of a religious festival in honor of the Greek gods, especially the king of the gods Zeus. They were a festival which had music and sports. Olympia was strolled by two earthquakes, so the Olympics were stopped. Then the Games were forgotten until an archaeologist (million years later) made a replica of Olympia and a new version of the Olympic Games but with some differences. Secondly The modern Games first took place in 1893 in the capital of Greece, Athens.
