Olympia, the original site of Olympic Games in ancient Greece is situated in a
quiet, beautiful valley. The old ruins are shaded by evergreen oaks, pines and poplars,
as well as olive trees, Olympia was never a city but a sacred ground occupied by temples
and dwellings for the priests. At the centre was the enclosure known as Altis, dedicated
to Zeus, the god of gods. It was in honour of Zeus that the quadrennial festival and the
games were held.
The fame of Olympia rests largely upon Olympic Games. They were a great
national festival of the entire Greek race. During the week of the festival the Athenians,
the Spartans, the Syracusans and other groups, all forgot their narrow identities. They
regarded an Olympic victory as the hightest honour. The simple reward of a twig of wild
olive immortalized the victor and his family.
The Olympic Games were held regularly in peace and in war at an interval of four years
for over a thousand years from 776 B.C. till 393 A. D.
Originally, men who spoke Greek as their mother tongue were allowed to compete in the
Olympic Games. No married women were allowed to be present. The athletic programme
was varied by the presence of historians, orators and writers. After each event a herald
announced the victor's name and handed him a palm. On the last day the successful
competitors were each given a garland of wild olive. write a summary of it and a suitable title
