Did you know that the first documented Olympic Games were held in ancient Greece in 776 BC? The Games were dedicated to the Olympian gods and were a festival of athletics, music, poetry, and art. The winners were awarded olive wreaths, and their victories brought honor to both themselves and their city-states.
