had strong religious association. The Olympian athletic festival held every four
years in honour of Zeus, king of the Olympian Gods, eventually lost its local
character, became first a national event and then, after the rules against
foreign competitors had been abolished, international. No one knows exactly how
far back the Olympic Games go, but some official records date from 776
B.C. The games took place in August on the plain by Mount
Olympus. Many thousands of spectators gathered from all parts of Greece, but no
married woman was admitted even as a spectator. Slaves, women and dishonoured
persons were not allowed to compete. The exact sequence of events is uncertain,
but events included boy’s gymnastics, boxing, wrestling, horse racing and field
events, though there were fewer sports involved than in the modern Olympic
Games. On the last day of the Games, all the w A. were merely national athletic festivals B. were in the nature of a national event with a strong religious colour C. had rules which put foreign participants in s disadvantageous position D. were primarily national events with few foreign participants
