 * The Origianal Olimpic Games.**

At about 775 B.C there was a special event held. It was after ceremonies and sacrifices and before a banquet. It was Ancient Greece’s most popular competition....The Original Olympic Games. Before the games begin they said the Olympic truce telling people to travel safe to Olympia. The games were held every four years. They were held at a stadium in Olympia. The Olympic Games are also known as the Panhellenic Games. The games were open to any freeman in any city-state. The winners of events in the Olympic Games recevied a wreath of laurel or olive leaves to wear on their heads. When they received their wreaths, the winners would shout out their names, their family, and the city where they lived.
