The origin of the Olympic Games
Ancient Greece was a mythical kingdom. Beautiful fairy tales and bizarre folk stories cast a mysterious color on the origin of the ancient Olympic Games. Legend has it that the ancient Olympic Games had something to do with offering sacrifices to Cleopatra. Heraks won the reputation of "Hercules" because of his great strength. In Elis, he completed the task that he had been unable to complete. In less than half a day, he cleaned the king's cowshed, but the king didn't want to honor his promise of giving away 300 cows, so Heraks drove the king away in a rage. To celebrate his victory, he held a sports meeting at the Olympic Games. The most popular story about the origin of the ancient Olympic Games is Pelops's marriage. King Elis of ancient Greece, in order to choose a husband who is both civil and military for his daughter, suggested that the candidate race his own chariot. In the competition, 13 youth was killed by Wang Mao. The14th youth is Pelops, the grandson of Zeus and the sweetheart of the princess. Encouraged by love, he bravely accepted the king's challenge. Finally hid it from him. To celebrate this victory, Pelops and the princess held a grand wedding in front of the temple of Zeus in the Olympic Games. Chariots and gladiators were arranged at the meeting. This was the original ancient Olympic Games, and Pelops became the legendary founder of the ancient Olympic Games.
