Walking along
the walking paths of past Olympians sort of sends chills up your body. SO much
history has taken place on these grounds! A local tour guide took us through
the history of where the first Olympic games took place. We learned about the
rich history of these ancient athletes and the battles that took place to bring
home the gold! It was said that Hercules with the founding the ancient Olympic
Games nearly 2,800 years ago. It was said this is where the tradition began of
hosting the Olympics every four years.
These grounds also are a sanctuary for the local stray dog “Zeus” who
wanders around the grounds as he protects these ancient landmarks as tourist
come in each day to visit and learn about the History of the Olympics began in
the city of Olympia, Greece.
