The Greek Olympics, thought to have begun in 776 BC, inspired the modern Olympic Games (begun in 1896) The Games were held in honour of Zeus, king of the gods, and were staged every four years at Olympia, a valley near a city called Elis. People from all over the Greek world came to watch and take part.
It took 1503 years until 1896 for the Olympics to be revived with the first modern day summer Olympics being held April 06 to April 15 1896 in Athens, Greece. The first winter Olympics, called 'The International Winter Sports Week' were held in Chamonix, France from January 25 to February 05 1924.
