The history of the Olympics

Evy Tus, the ruler of the Peloponnesian Peninsula (the founder of the ancient Olympic Games), tried to combine religion with sports. He not only innovated religious ceremonies, but also organized large-scale sports competitions and activities, and decided to hold them every four years. The time is set after the summer solstice of leap year. Therefore, the ancient Olympic Games in 776 BC officially went down in history and became the 1 th ancient Olympic Games. Only three countries participated in the first ancient Olympic Games-Peloponnesus, easley and Sparta. At that time, there was only one project, namely192.27m site run.

Although there were disputes between the city-states in this period, it was the golden age of the sports meeting.

Due to the long Peloponnesian War between Sparta and Athens (43 BC1year to 404 BC), the national strength of Greece was greatly reduced, and Macedonia gradually annexed Greece. King Philip of Macedonia also took part in the horse race himself. Later, Alexander the Great actively supported the Olympic Games. Although he didn't like sports activities, he regarded the Olympic Games as the highest opening ceremony of ancient Greek sports activities and added facilities to it. However, during this period, the spirit of the ancient Olympic Games has greatly faded, and professional athletes began to appear.

3. 65438 BC+046-394 AD

After the Roman Empire ruled Greece, the Olympic Games were still held at first, but Olympia was not the only venue. For example, in the 175 Olympic Games in 80 BC, Rome's economic laws called for excellent athletes to compete in Rome, while Olympia only held junior competitions. At this time, professional athletes began to appear in large numbers, and the Olympic Games became a competition for professional athletes, and the Greeks lost interest in it. After the 2nd century AD, Christianity ruled the whole of Europe, including Greece, advocating asceticism, advocating the separation of soul and body, and opposing sports, which made Europe in a dark age, and the Olympic Games even declined until it existed in name only. In 393 AD, the Roman emperor Diodo VI 1 declared Christianity as the state religion, and considered that the ancient Olympic Games was a pagan activity contrary to the purpose of Christianity. The following year, he announced the abolition of the ancient Olympic Games. In 395 AD, the Byzantines and Goethe fought fiercely on the Alphonse River, destroying all the facilities in Olympia. In 426 AD, Dior II burned the architectural remains of Olympia. Two strong earthquakes occurred in May11and 522, which completely destroyed Olympia. Since then, the ancient Olympic Games, which was delayed for more than 1000 years, has ceased to exist, and the bustling Olympia has become a ruin.
