The first Olympic games occurred in 776 B C in Greece with a single 200 yard foot race. Only men competed while women had separate athletic contests. Victors received olive leaf crowns, and statues honored champions as part of a Hera festival and city-state truce. The Athens 2004 site is mentioned for reference.
The text notes temples to Zeus and Hera, a 40,000 seat stadium, and training sites. It says the games lasted about 1,200 years and 300 editions, ending in 393 A.D. due to excessive focus on worship of the old gods.
The 2004 Games run August 13 to 29 in Athens Greece marking a return to the birthplace. The olive leaf design decorates the torch and the flame will travel to five continents before the opening ceremony at the Olympic Stadium.
