The Olympics symbolized the combinafion of strengfh and beauty revered by the Greeks and the tgrace and sportsmanship of he contest- ant and the manner of winning were esfeemed equally with the victory ifself. The victors each received an olive wreafh cut from branches from the sacred woods of the Temple of Zeus, became idols in their home cities, and were shower- ed with gifts while mosicians, sculptors, poets, writers and historians immortalized tbem in music, sculpture, poefry and prose. So important were the Games thaf the Greeks kepf their calendar by 01- ympiads, the four-year period befween the Games and, while they were taking place, all wars among Geeks ceased and a sacred truce permitted p ar'ticipants fo fravel unmo- lesfted f0 anc1 from Olympia.

Accomding to legend, aflfer fighfing ail day in the baffle, Pheidippides, a famous Athenian runner, ran the 24 miles f0 Athens f0 give the city fathers the good news and then dropped dead from exhaustion. A French scholar and ed- ucator, Baron Pierre de Cou- bertin, was the moving force behind the revival of the OVMDic Games in modern times, according-to the Com- mercial Letter. Fie believed that a national program of physical training and compef- itive spirit would not only develop stronger and health- ier young men but would also make them better citizens througb the character build- ing that follows participation in amateur sports.
