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.
