Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed reading this article. In case you are interested, The Teaching Company has published two complimentary lectures on the ancient origins of the Olympics. Check them out at http://www.teach12.com/Olympics
Thanks for the great article, you just made it into my favourites folder.
It’s a great article about the ancient games. It’s really informative and necessary for those, who are interested in ancient games like me. And it’s really helpful for new generation to get familiar with ancient games.
