British Museum Ancient Olympic Connections

According to legend, the gods themselves participated in the original Olympic Games. Whether that be true or not, the victors of the games were treated like heroes. For one thousand years, games were held at four-year intervals and sportsmen honoured Zeus with their prowess and skill. The ancient games were in many ways similar to the modern Olympics. Thousands travelled from all over the Greek world to relish the excitement and thrill of competition.

In the museum you can see images of the boxers and runners that participated, the chariots, the prizes, and even some of the victors themselves. The names of those who won at Olympia live forever. On this tour you will hear about the cheats and corruption, the training and the celebrations that made the ancient Olympics such a great sporting event.

You’ll compare and contrast the modern and ancient Olympics and learn what it was like for a visitor to the original games. Let the past be your inspiration to the future in 2012 and beyond. Join the sporting heroes.
