Comparison of ancient and modern olympics
1. Comparison of Ancient and Modern Olympics The first Olympic games were held in Athens, Greece in 776 B.C. in honor of the Greek God Zeus. The games were a source of competition between countries to see who was better than the other country. Over the past centuries, the Ancient and Modern Olympic games have maintained some similarities, but they have also changed in a few ways. Since the first Olympiad in 776 B.C. to the 2012 Olympic games, the ancient and modern Olympic games hold some similarities. The ancient Olympic games were held every four years just as the modern Olympic games are held every four years today. Another similarity the ancient and modern Olympics have in common is that both of them contain some of the same games as each other. One of the biggest games that were a part of the ancient Olympics was foot racing.
