Abstract:
The Olympic Games are an invention of the ancient Greeks. They were held in Olympia in a quadrennial rhythm, without interruption for ca. 1200 years. Compared with the modern Olympics, the ancient programme was small: running events (over several distances), the pentathlon, and the so-called ‘heavy’ events: wrestling, boxing and pankration. Various equestrian events (with and without chariots) completed the programme. This programme is discussed with the athletes, their social background and ideology.

Abstract:
Daily practice shows that educators, teachers, and children find it interesting to jointly organize sports events and competitions that they call "small Olympics, athletic Olympics - in the world of competition and the like". For example, similar to this was the final event of preschoolers in the primary school "Mladost" from Belgrade in June 2023. It is interesting to emphasize that before the new era, the Olympiads represented a unit of measure of 4 years between two Olympic Games.

Abstract:
Abstract Olympia holds a central place in conceptions of modern sport, Hellenism, and the Olympic Games. This article traces the concurrent development of the site and Panhellenism and Hellenism through its landscape, built environment, and its reception over the past 3,000 years. By tying together Pierre de Coubertin's Olympism to the physical landscape of ancient Olympia, this article argues that the site itself has contributed, through multiple permutations and through several key changes in the early Iron Age, Roman period, and nineteenth century to the global Hellenism that is at the foun

Abstract:
Coubertin's contribution to the revival of the Olympic Games and the widespread opinion that the modern Games were ‘a French invention’ should be placed in their broad historical context. There are several arguments for and against the assumption that he was the founder, or ‘father’, of the modern Olympics and the Olympic movement. The historical development of the Olympic ideas since the time of Humanism will be discussed, along with the Renaissance and the various attempts to organize Olympic Games before 1896, with a further emphasis on the importance of Neo-Humanism and classical scholarsh

Abstract The pleasant, quiet archaeological site of Olympia appears a far cry from the fame of the ancient Olympic Games, or from the spectacle of the modern variety. In this article, I discuss the end of ancient Olympia and the gradual re-emergence of the archaeological site. After Olympia was abandoned in early Byzantine times, its location was no longer remembered. However, its fame remained, partly through translations of ancient texts, notably Pausanias, partly through the revival of the Olympic Games in the 19th century.

The past sleeps lightly at Olympia. Recall the opening sequence of Leni Riefenstahl's 1938 film, Olympia. In a misty landscape of ruined buildings, broken columns, and weeds run wild, a Greek temple stands amid the wreckage. Statues appear and then waken to life; a naked athlete throws a discus, another a javelin – this heads towards a bowl of fire. Another naked youth lights the Olympic torch and holds it high. It is carried from hand to hand in a relay and then reaches the stadium in Berlin, home of the 1936 Olympic Games, which the film is meant to celebrate. Adolf Hitler salutes the specta

Abstract:
The Olympic Games were not the only major sporting event in ancient Greek civilisation. The Nemean, Pythian and Isthmian Games were held simultaneously. After the revival of the Olympic Games in 1896, modern Olympic sport has passed a difficult, albeit not so long-term path. But even earlier, around the middle of the XIX century, professional sports began to form in the developed countries of Europe and the United States. The appearance of professional athletes, both in the ancient world and in modern history, was essentially the result of those significant changes that occurred in the economi

Malgré leurs divisions politiques, les Grecs reconnaissaient l’existence de sanctuaires qui leur étaient communs. Or, à côté de leurs fonctions religieuses, ces grands sanctuaires jouèrent aussi un rôle indéniable dans la politique internationale aux Ve et IVe siècles avant notre ère. En effet, les quatre plus grands, les sanctuaires de Delphes, de l’Isthme, de Némée et d’Olympie, organisaient des concours panhelléniques et recevaient des offrandes venues de tout le monde grec.

Abstract:
AbstractThe Antikythera Mechanism is the oldest extant complex geared device, and an amazing example of an early analogue computer. It was built approximately 2150 years ago. The device was operated manually by a user, who would set a date on a dial. All necessary calculations were made using a set of gears (at least 39), while the results were displayed on several scientific scales. The Mechanism was used to calculate the diurnal and annual motion of the Sun, the Moon and probably the planets among the stars. It implemented the astronomical knowledge of ancient Greeks about the motion of these celestial bodies with astonishing accuracy, taking into account the anomalous orbit of the Moon using a system of eccentric gears. It could also predict eclipses of the Sun and the Moon from the Saros period, which was found in one of its scales. It calculated the dates of the major crown games that took place in ancient Greece (e.g. the Olympic Games). Finally, it was accompanied by an extended User’s Manual. More than 20 references to astronomical mechanisms can be found in classical literature from 50 BC to 500 AD. In this study, the first approach for a holistic documentation of the Antikythera Mechanism is presented.

Abstract:
Abstract The revival of the Olympic Games by a French aristocrat, the Baron Pierre de Coubertin, proved to be the pivotal episode in the making of an American athletic identity. Convinced that the disciplined austerity and sports­ manship required of the English rugby players had produced empire builders and men of character, Coubertin conceived a modern athletic festival that would promote cooperative internationalism throughout Western society. Coubertin’s philosophy of “olympism” (the philosophy and world-view of the Olympic movement) embraced the best of ancient Greece; the proven power of English muscular Christianity; rhythm; art; beauty; and a balancing of body, mind, and soul. Such a synthesis might lead a man, the Baron thought (as did Socrates), to “knowledge of himself and of the right way to live.” Like other bourgeois liberals, Coubertin was torn between beliefs in both the individualistic ethos and nationalism. These ideological tensions led to an institutional action in 1894 when the International Olympic Committee ruled that individuals could compete only as representatives of their country’s national Olympic committees. The contradiction between the internationalist Olympic vision and nationalistic rivalry reflected the world-unifying and world-fragmenting tendencies of advanced capitalism itself.

Abstract This chapter is not called ‘The Origins of the Olympics’. That would have introduced an inappropriate suggestion of definiteness, since the very subject- matter of the formation of both the Olympic festival and athletics events within it does not allow certainty, straddling as it does the interface of history with myth. As Aristotle said at the beginning of the Nicomachean Ethics, ‘It is a mark of the trained mind never to expect more precision in the treatment of any subject than the nature of that subject permits’ (NE 1. 3). And the ancient Olympic Games are complex because they embraced not just physical endeavour but also several other aspects of Greek life, for example, religion and politics.

This chapter introduces the Ancient Greek lyric poet Pindar and reviews surviving short biographies, biographical notes, and anecdotes that purport to give information about his life. It reviews Pindar's Odes, which includes five victory poems: Olympian One, Phythian Nine, Nemean Two, Nemean Three, and Isthmian One. It also details Olympian One, which celebrates the victory of Hieron in the horse race at the Olympic Games of 476 BC and Pythian Nine, which talks about Telesicrates's life. The chapter discusses Nemean Two, which was composed for the victor in the pancration at the Nemean Games that were in honour of Zeus and Nemean Three, which was composed for Arlstocleidas, another victor in the pancration. It analyses Isthmian One, which was composed for the victor Herodotus, who competed at the chariot event.
