The athletic  games in Athens Ancient and Modern Games in Athens History: In 776 B.C. in the ancient stadium of Olympia in Greece  organized the first Athletic Games. Athletics played an important role in the religious festivals of the ancient Greeks, who believed competitive sports pleased the spirits of the dead. The festivals honoring gods like Zeus were undertaken by many Greek tribes and cities and usually held every four years. During the so-called Golden Age of Greece, which most historians maintain lasted from 477 to 431 B.C., Olympia was considered holy ground. Victorious athletes gave public thanks to the gods and were revered as heroes. Three-time winners had statues erected in their likeness and received various gifts and honors, including exemption from taxation. On June 23, 1894, French educator Baron Pierre de Coubertin, speaking at the Sorbonne in Paris to a gathering of international sports leaders from nine nations— including the United States and Russia— proposed that the ancient Games be revived on an international scale. The idea was enthusiastically received and the Modern Olympics, as we know them, were born. The first Olympiad was celebrated two years later in Athens, where an estimated 245 athletes (all men) from 14 nations competed in the ancient Panathenaic stadium before large and ardent crowds.   In 2004. Greece is getting ready to welcome all the athletes from all over the world to compete in the Olympics in it's original home from August 13th thru the 29th, 2004.  About 147,000 staff and other employees will be utilized for the organization of the Games.   17,000 athletes 20,000 journalists from more than 200 countries and their aides will be transported during the course of the events.  Thousands of visitors all over the world will visit Athens to attend the Olympics games enjoying the Greek hospitality.   information
