The Olympic Games 




 SYMBOLS


The Olympic Movement uses symbols to represent the ideals embodied in the Olympic Charter. The Olympic symbol, better known as the Olympic rings, consists of five intertwined rings and represents the unity of the five inhabited continents (Africa, America, Asia, Australia, Europe). The colored version of the rings—blue, yellow, black, green, and red—over a white field forms the Olympic flag. These colors were chosen because every nation had at least one of them on its national flag. The flag was adopted in 1914 but flown for the first time only at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp,Belgium. It has since been hoisted during each celebration of the Games.


The Olympic Games




The Olympic Games were born in Olympia with a sacred character; festival was dedicated to the god Zeus in a religious compound. They emerged a nascent national consciousness that kind PanHellenic and preserved through the centuries. These festivals religion joined the sports, music and literary events to honor the gods of antiquity. The first Olympic Games on record took place in 776 BC and since then has been happening every four years until 393 d. C., the date on which the Roman emperor Theodosius decided to suppress its pagan character. The total is 293 Olympics, that is, many times when the Greeks agreed to renounce war to meet the goal of worshiping the gods of Olympus measuring their forces in a peaceful and regulated. In Greece were not the only events, but as important were those that became the starting point of the Hellenic calendar. Always held during the second or third full moon after the summer solstice. Months before the start roaming the cities heralds announcing the start date, each city choosing their representatives. A month before beginning the sacred truce during which paralyzed all military conflicts, bearing in mind that if you violate this peace could not be allowed to participate. Those who came to Olympia in those days were spectators and players in the biggest show of ancient Greece.
