It entered into the life of the one ‘ nt (in to an e1— tcnt which we of tod_ conjured] reel; ize. It was associated with, hi! religion his civic pride, his ideals of artaad Ms- This institution was the Olympic festival, calebratedwvsuy four years at Olympia. on the river Alpbsua. ” near the borders of hills and Pisa, and so kept up funniercthnn 1,000 years. Thorofwcl'c’other national games of as similar sort, such as the Pythlan, the Ne— Inean and the lstbmlan games, but these. though highlyregarded, were of for Jose . - dignity and interest. When one speaks. then. of. the Olympic games, therearises in the mind a picture of those vast gath-. crings where all Greece, though to the very time divided by civil wars, remembered: for a brief period that its borders bounded one people—a people of one blood, can glory and one destiny. The hold of the Olympic. festival on the ancient Hellenic world is seen in the fact that from 776 B; C. timo'was measured by olymplsds, or the four year intervals between the games. The remote origin of this festival is hid; den in myths, as is the case with so many customs of the classic ages. In general? all? these legends ascribe the games to the dcmlgod Hercules as founder. Sufficient time had passed for. the early form of this. festival to have mine into decay Indore in the revived and had a historic beginning. This occurred under the patronage of Ipbltns, king of Ellis, and Lycurgus, the- celebrated lawgiver of the Spartan com- monwealth. It is fixed at or about 884- Bi. C. This revival soon lighted a livingsparlt which fired Greek blood everywhere, and in less than half a century the festival became national in character. . Only contestants of pure Hellenic blood} were allowed to enter their names. As time rolled on, and the Greeks (who were, you know, great sailors and merchants)? pushed their maritime enterprises and es- tablished colonies throughout the whole length and breadth of the Mediterranean, children of the greater Grown. everywhere from the distant borders of Persia to where the city of Marseilles now stands, assem- bled to struggle for the prize wreath. The interest of the Greek race in these games became a passion. To win a victory in any of the contests reflected as much glory on the athlete and enthis community as if he had been the successful general for is great battle. His name was added to the ‘ brazent‘abletsrecordlng the celebritissand benefactors of his native town. If he died on this field of honor, as was often the case, even in the flush of victory, he be» came almost an idol in the public esteem, and his family was enuoblsd and enriched by public decree—G.
