And I too, by the Gods, and a fine thing it would be! But first mark the conditions and the consequences, and then set to work. You will have to put yourself under discipline; to eat by rule, to avoid cakes and sweetmeats; to take exercise at the appointed hour whether you like it or no, in cold and heat; to abstain from cold drinks and from wine at your will; in a word, to give yourself over to the trainer as to a physician.

Extractions: Jump to: navigation search n the ancient times, four great game festivals were held on Greek land: The Isthmians , The Nemeans , The Pythians and The Olympic Games. Part of a religious festival, the Olympic Games were held every four years at Olympia . The four year interval was called an Olympiad , and was the system upon which time in ancient Greek history was calculated. The games were so important that even wars were stopped at the time they were held. The first Olympic Games were held in 776 B.C. At first, only one race (the sprint) was run. Later, the discus and javelin throw, broad jumping and wrestling were added. The Olympic Games were held for more than 1,000 years. They were abolished by the Byzantine Emperor Theodosius in A.D. The Games were revived in to promote understanding and friendship among nations. The first modern games were held in Athens Greece . Young men and women come from all over the world to compete in various sports and represent their country. They live in an Olympic Village at the site of the games. The Olympic Games are organized and governed by the International Olympic Commitee (IOC). It sets the general program, chooses the city where the games are to be held, and determines the standards of amateurism. Each participating country has a National Olympic Commitee that is responsible for arranging the participation of the nation's athletes in the games.

Extractions: Send comment References by Daphne Elliott In ancient history, the first recorded Olympic Games took place in a glade called Olympia, surrounded by a pine forest on the northwestern coast of the Peloponnesus, in the year 776 BCE. That was the date when the names of the winners were first recorded, but the games themselves go back another 1500 years at least. Since the beginning of time the Greeks have admired the beauty and greatness of the athlete and made him famous throughout Greece, much as the players reported in the sports pages are today. The winners brought fame to the cities from which they had come, and the townsfolk, as well as the aristocrats idolized them. The contests drew men from all over Greece, for the coveted prize of a wreath made of wild olive leaves. Great prestige was bestowed upon the winners. Kings and aristocrats offered their daughters in marriage, and poetry was written about them. Their fame grew throughout the Greek-speaking world. Often sculptors would use the athletes as subjects for their work, and these art works would be displayed on the main streets of the towns from which the athletes came. Both men and gods participated in the Games, and as a prime requisite, all must speak Greek, and must swear they have been in rigorous training for the preceding ten months. Slaves could compete, but only if their language was Greek - in short, no foreigners were allowed.
