Greek's History of Sports!


Hey, it's me Percy again! Remember how I said I really love sports and everything? Well, I was researching and I discovered something I never knew before: Here in Greece sports used to be treated as a religious event! Yeah, a RELIGIOUS event. You see, in Ancient Greece, we were HUGE sports fans. Every four years, the olympic games were held in Olympia. We started the events off with a huge sacrafice to the god, Zeus. Also, anybody caught cheating would never be allowed to be compete again. This was because cheating was considered disrespectful to the gods. Personally, I never cheat. Or do I...just kidding I don't. >.>
