honor the Greeks' chief god, Zeus. The Greeks emphasized physical fitness and
strength in their education of youth. Therefore, contests in running, jumping, discus
and javelin throwing, boxing, and horse and chariot racing were held in individual
cities, and the winners competed every four years at Mount Olympus. Winners were
greatly honored by having olive wreaths placed on their head and having poems sung
about their deeds. Originally these were held as games of friendship, and any wars in
progress were halted to allow the games to take place.
