Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here Nigel Spivey paints a portrait of the Greek Olympics as they really were--fierce contexts between bitter rivals, in which victors won kudos and rewards, and losers faced scorn and even assault. Bitterly Contested and often bloody, the ancient Olympics were no an idealistic celebration of unity, but a clash of military powers in an arena not far removed from the battlefield. The author explores what the events were, the rules for competitors, training and diet, the pervasiveness of cheating and bribery, the prizes on offer, the exclusion of "barbarians," and protocols on pederasty. He also peels back the mythology surrounding the games today and investigates where our current conception of the Olympics has come from and how the Greek notions of beauty and competitiveness have influenced our modern culture.

Every four years, during the summer, the whole world comes together at the Olympic Games to celebrate and support the best athletes from each country. The Games are a worldwide event, but their roots can be found in the heart of the Mediterranean: Greece. The Great Book of Olympic Games starts with the Games' origins in ancient Greece, and goes on to discuss the evolution of the Games into the modern Games we know today, including the introduction of the Winter Games and the Paralympics. Filled with fun facts, children will discover every statistic, sport, and champion of the games.
