The ancient Olympic Games were held at Olympia in Greece for more than 1,000 years, with the first recorded games traditionally dated to 776 BC. The festival honoured Zeus and drew athletes from across the Greek world before it faded after the rise of Rome. The modern Olympics, revived in 1896, trace their origins directly to this tradition.
Why now: Interest in Olympic history is recurring whenever the modern Games draw attention, reviving curiosity about the ancient origins of the event.
