Extractions: 64.61-78 The Ancient Olympics by Cleanthis Palaeologos, Honorary Director of the National Academy, of Physical Culture of Greece. Proclamation - The Truce - The Organisation - Arrangements for the Contests - The Events. Part I The rich mythology which decorates both the derivation and the consecration of one of the greatest institutions in the progress of mankind, known as the Olympic Games, as also their history and their resplendent rays during twelve centuries, as well as the enforced extinction of the Olympic Flame, were subjects of earlier talks of mine at Sessions of the Olympic Academy. On this occasion I will describe their proclamation, the truce, the organisation of the ancient Games, the arrangements for the contests, and the carrying out of an Olympiad, with as much detail as the time available allows me, so that I can give my audience a general idea of the immensity and significance with which these great Games were held in antiquity. 1. The Spondophori.The Olympic Heralds. Select official citizens of the region of Elis, accompanied by a brilliant retinue of the nobility of Elis, set out for all directions of the land, to proclaim that the rituals for the ceremonials of the Olympic Games were starting. They were called "Spondophori" and they proclaimed the Games, that is to say they announced them. They arrived at the City States as official representatives of the region of Elis, while the nobles of the Cities received them with honours and accepted the proclamation. From that moment the operation of the Truce was in vigour.

Extractions: Medal Tally Ancient Olympic Games The first Olympic Games at Olympia were held in 776 BC. They began as a religious festival, were held every four years, and continued for a thousand years. They were held in a sacred, fertile valley of Ancient Greece, in Olympia. Athletes came to Olympia and trained full-time for ten months. They had to undergo an examination by a ten-member panel, who assessed them on their parentage, character and physical endowments. As the games approached, thousands of spectators gathered in Olympia, transforming the little village into a thriving metropolis. At the first games in 776 BC, until 724 BC, the only event held was the stadium-length foot race (stade). The length of the race was based on the legend that Hercules, the god of Physical Strength, ran this distance in one breath. The earliest recorded winner at the Olympics was Coroebus of Elis, who won the 776 BC stade race. At later Olympiads, the "diaulos" (400 yards) and then the "dolichos" (3.3 miles) were added. In 680 BC, chariot racing appeared. The charioteers were professionals who raced over nine miles in the hippodrome. The winners, who lined up to receive the trophy, were the wealthy owners. Although women were barred from competing at the Games, they were sometimes declared winners because they owned the horses and chariots.

Extractions: The"Linguistic Olympics" is a fun and educational problem-solvingactivity designed for secondary school students (ages 11 through 18). Students compete by solvingpuzzles based on real languages they have never learned. The puzzlesare of varying degrees of difficulty, but all are solvable using ordinaryreasoning and analytic skills possessed by secondary school students. No specialknowledge or resources are needed. TheLinguistic Olympics has been a regular part of education in Russia since 1965,and has been implemented three times at the University of Oregon in Eugene,Oregon, USA. On this site you will find a selection of puzzles from the lastthree US Linguistic Olympics competitions, as well as other resources that maybe valuable to teachers who would like to expose their studentsto the tremendous variety, complexity and beauty of the world's language. History The LinguisticOlympics was conceived by Russian linguist A. Zaliznyak, and in 1965 the first linguisticOlympics competition was held at Moscow State University. In 1996, over 450 studentsparticipated in the Moscow Linguistic Olympics and 350 in the St. PetersburgOlympics. Other Linguistic Olympics events have been held sporadically in other countries, but never in the United States until 1998. A "mini-" Linguistic Olympics was held in the Summer of 1997, with the help of Dr. Valentin Vydrine, the founder of the St.Petersburg Linguistic Olympics. Since then, an event very similar to the Russian Olympics has been held at the University of Oregon each Spring. The US Linguistic Olympics is still very much in the formative stages, so any suggestions or comments are appreciated.

Extractions: Events in the Olympics Why and When the Olympics Were Held What People Believed About the Olympics The Differences Between their Ancient Olympics and our Modern Olympics ... References Events in the Olympics The Olympics were very important to the Greeks. Some events were the discus and javelin throwing. In both of those events you would have to have a lot of arm strength. The other events were high jumping, wrestling, and running. In the Javelin throwing event the contestants tried to throw their javelin the farthest. The high jump event must have been fun. What the contestants did is clearly stated in the title, they competed to see who jumped the highest. Wrestling was one of the favorite events to the Greeks. In that event two contestants wrestled to see who was the strongest, and the best at all events. Gouging out the eyes was allowed in wrestling. There were a few categories in the running event. One was to see who was the fastest runner, and another was to see who could run the farthest. TOP The Olympics were held every four years in Olympia to honor the Greek God Zeus. The Olympics were considered very religious to the Ancient Greeks. At the time, the Olympics were the biggest event in the world. The Olympics took place as part of the religious festivals of the Greeks. No one really knows how or why the Olympics were started. It is believed that they started around 1776 B.C. Some people think the Olympics(or games like it) started before the first recorded time.

http://www.johncarlos.com/ancient.html

Extractions: The earliest reliable date that recorded history gives for the first Olympics is 776 BC, although virtually all historians presume that the Games began well before then. When the powerful, warlike Spartans began to compete, they influenced the agenda. The 18th Olympics included wrestling and a pentathlon consisting of running, jumping, spear throwing (the javelin), discus throwing, and wrestling. Boxing was added at the 23d Olympiad, and the Games continued to expand, with the addition of chariot racing and other sports. In the 37th Olympiad (632 BC) the format was extended to five days of competition. The growth of the Games fostered "professionalism" among the competitors, and the Olympic ideals waned as royalty began to compete for personal gain, particularly in the chariot events. Human beings were being glorified as well as the gods; many winners erected statues to deify themselves. In AD 394 the Games were officially ended by the Roman emperor Theodosius, who felt that they had pagan connotations. More History Olympic History JOHN CARLOS P.O. BOX 2001

The Games eventually evolved into a group of sporting events that take place every fourth summer and winter seasons and involve athletes from most countries throughout the world. Although the games were eliminated during the early Christian era, they were resurrected in 1896 and have been staged for 2 weeks every fourth year since then. The modern Olympic Games have adhered to this agenda, except during times of such international conflicts as World War I and II.

Extractions: Starter Kit Games ... Home YOU ARE HERE: Home Grandchild Activities by Bryan Butakis The ancient Greeks held regular athletic contests to honor their gods. The greatest of all the athletic competition festivals, which became the basis for our modern-day competition, was a ceremony dedicated to the father of the gods, Zeus, held in Olympia and called the Olympics. Most historians believe that the ancient Olympics began in 776 B.C. Like today's games, the ancient Olympics were held every four years. Aside from their frequency, these ancient games bore little resemblance to the modern event. There were fewer games, and participation was restricted to free men able to speak Greek. The first Olympics included one event, a foot race of about 200 meters. A 400-meter race was added 50 years later. Before the end of the seventh century B.C., the Greeks added new events such as the distance race, pentathlon (a strength and endurance test combining the long jump, discus, javelin, wrestling, and a 200-meter sprint), wrestling, boxing, and single-horse and four-horse chariot races. The ancient Olympics attracted athletes and spectators from all over the Greek world. People traveled hundreds of miles to attend, pouring into Olympia from as far away as modern-day Spain, Italy, Libya, Egypt, the Ukraine, and Turkey. In preparation for the games, the ancient city-states and colonies declared a truce so that athletes and spectators could travel safely. This truce suspended wars and banned all military activity. Those who refused to honor the truce were banned from participating in the games.
