After BYU football’s big win over
Texas this last Saturday all that I have been able to think about is football.
So what about the Greeks? Did they have sports? If so what was their purpose in
Greek society?

Ancient
Greece’s contribution to the world of sports can be summed up in two words: The
Olympics. The games were held in honor of Zeus and were the origin of the games
as we know them today. Geeks were passionate about the games as they evolved. I
