Once every four years,men from all over Greece came to join in a great athletic festival in Elis,in western Greece. This was called the Olympic Games because the place was called Olympia. We don't know when men first began ce]ebrating the Olympic Games, but they had certainly already done it in the time of' Homer,by 776 BC. The games were so regular(有规律的) that people used them to date by. They would say,"I was born in the second year of the twenty-fourth Olympiad ( starting from776 BC). "
When it was time for the games, the rulers (统治者) of Elis sent the massage all over Greece. They declared a truce(宣布休战) throughout the Greek world for a month. No matter whom they had a war with,they had to stop the war and let their players go through their city state safely to get to the Olympic Games. Each city state paid for a few players from their city to travel to Elis. But the player had to promise that they had already practiced for at least ten months. |
